FAQs
Q1. What is the K Complex in Dermaceutic K Ceutic Post Treatment Cream?
A1. The K Complex is Dermaceutic's proprietary blend of anti-inflammatory agents specifically formulated to manage the erythema (redness), oedema (swelling), and heat that follow aesthetic procedures. Unlike generic post-procedure calming creams, K Complex works at the inflammatory cascade level — targeting the mediators (prostaglandins, cytokines) responsible for post-treatment inflammatory response rather than just soothing at the surface. This targeted anti-inflammatory action is what positions K Ceutic as a clinically used post-procedure product rather than a standard cosmetic moisturiser.
Q2. Does Dermaceutic K Ceutic Post Treatment Cream contain SPF?
A2. Yes — K Ceutic includes mineral and organic UV filters providing broad-spectrum protection against UVB and UVA rays. This is particularly important post-procedure: after peels, lasers, or microneedling, the skin is extremely UV-sensitive and exposure to sun without protection causes significant darkening of treated areas (PIH). The inclusion of SPF in K Ceutic means post-procedure patients have one less product to apply on compromised skin — the protective, anti-inflammatory, and collagen-stimulating functions are delivered in a single step.
Q3. What does Glycoprotein do in Dermaceutic K Ceutic?
A3. The Glycoprotein complex in K Ceutic is a restructuring and regenerative active that stimulates fibroblasts to increase collagen and elastin production. Post-procedure, when the skin's inflammatory response subsides, the growth and repair phase requires fibroblast activation to lay down new structural proteins. Glycoprotein provides a signal to this repair process, supporting the collagen remodelling that gives post-peel and post-laser skin its improved firmness and texture outcome.
Q4. Can Dermaceutic K Ceutic be used as a daily moisturiser outside of post-procedure recovery?
A4. Yes — while it is specifically designed for post-procedure use, K Ceutic's anti-inflammatory, antioxidant (Vitamins C and E), and SPF-containing formula makes it a high-quality daily moisturiser for reactive, sensitive, or environmentally stressed skin. Those who have had recent procedures and need ongoing SPF protection, or those with rosacea or chronically inflamed skin, benefit from K Ceutic as a daily product between treatments.
Q5. How long should Dermaceutic K Ceutic be used after a peel or laser treatment?
A5. Dermatologists typically recommend K Ceutic for 1–2 weeks immediately after a peel or laser until the acute recovery phase (redness, sensitivity, flaking) subsides. It can then be transitioned to a standard moisturiser and separate SPF, or continued as a daily all-in-one if its format suits the ongoing routine. It should be reintroduced before and after any subsequent treatments as part of a standard peri-procedure protocol.
