EltaMD Enzyme HydroGel, also sold as Laser Enzyme Gel, is a leave-on gel for skin recovering from an in-office treatment. Applied straight after a laser, peel or microneedling appointment, it cools the skin, eases itch and irritation, and holds hydration as the skin settles. The base is a clear gel rather than an opaque balm, so the treated area stays visible.
Product Details
This is a treatment gel, not a cleanser. It is applied to clean skin and left on. Hyaluronic acid draws in hydration with a cooling, soothing feel, and an enzyme blend of bromelain and protease targets the inflammatory proteins behind post-treatment itch. Fragrance-free, oil-free, paraben-free, dye-free and noncomedogenic, in a 3 oz tube. Browse EltaMD skincare for the rest of the range.
Recovering from a treatment? Laser Balm Post-Procedure Healing Ointment is the occlusive step for drier, more ablative recoveries, where this gel is the lighter, cooling option.
