Why Skin pH Balance Matters After a Peel
To have skin in good health, it is not just water that is needed; the balance must also be maintained. Central to skin health is pH (potential hydrogen) measurement—how acidic or alkaline your skin is. The pH of normal skin is slightly acidic, at about 5.0-5.5, forming the acid mantle, a thin protective barrier made of sebum and sweat. This barrier helps retain moisture, nourishes good bacteria, and weakens the irritants.
After exfoliation or chemical peel treatments, however, the skin loses this balance. A disturbed skin microenvironment can easily lead to dryness and flakiness, with erythema or sudden flare-ups of eczema, acne, psoriasis, or rosacea. The situation is worsened by soaps or harsh cleansers with high alkalinity, which strip the skin of its natural oils.
That is why after-care treatment is not to be taken lightly. At FibroblastUSA, we pride ourselves in being knowledgeable about the finest professional-grade skincare made for just this purpose: to restore balance. The Glow Glutathione Face Film, one of the products in the House of B Collection, is made to rebalance, deeply hydrate, and prepare the skin for the appropriate absorption.
Understanding Skin pH and the Acid Mantle
Acid mantle of the skins acts as a barrier... and balancing act. It slightly acidic texture coats the skin, along with sebum and sweat, so that the good bacteria are not proliferated while it retains moisture.
This usually degrades with pH levels drifting towards neutral or alkaline. Skin barrier weakens; moisture is lost; the effectiveness, safety, and stability of skincare products decreases. That is why dermatologists keep stressing the importance of using pH-balanced, fragrance-free, and well-formulated products to maintain healthy skin.
Why Post-Peel Care Is Essential
Chemical peels include the use of glycolic, lactic, citric, or azelaic acid-based exfoliating acids to resurface skin. These unfortunately thin lipid barriers temporarily, making them ineffective. Therefore, effective steps like pre-priming for dark skin types (IV-VI) before performing chemical peels are recommended to minimize the risk of post-peel hyperpigmentation.
If balance isn’t restored after a peel, skin may experience:
- Dryness, flakiness, and irritation
- Microenvironment disruption (leading to breakouts)
- Heightened sensitivity
- Hyperpigmentation in melanin-rich skin
Stabilizing pH and soothing calm inflammation allows skin hydration preparation-neutralization solutions containing sodium bicarbonate, panthenol, glycerin, and propylene glycol.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do glutathione face masks work?
Yes, glutathione face masks do work when well formed and aimed at a proper pH balance. It is such a powerful antioxidant that has gained support for skin natural defense against free radicals, resulting in its improved brightening effect as time passes. The reason Glow Glutathione Face Film works is that it derives the action of pH rebalancing by restoring the acid mantle after peeling procedures, along with hydration, collagen support, and antioxidant protection. The uptake of both glutathione and associated actives is thus more potent than in standard sheet masks.
What is a glutathione mask?
A glutathione mask is a skincare treatment that delivers the antioxidant glutathione directly to the skin. Unlike the normal masks, the Glow Face Film takes an ultra-thin hydrogel design that fits closely to the skin for optimal delivery. It brightens and also benefits with:
- Neutralize acidity post-peel and restore the skin microenvironment.
- Lock in balanced hydration with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and caviar extract.
- Support the acid mantle and microbiome to prevent dryness or irritation.
How to use glutathione sheet mask?
To get the best results, always follow a professional-inspired protocol:
- Prep the skin: After cleansing or exfoliating, use a calming step such as the House of B Soothing Gauze Pad, which gently buffs and soothes while beginning the pH rebalancing process.
- Apply the Glow Glutathione Face Film: Place the mask evenly on the skin. Its design ensures close contact for effective acid penetration and maximum absorption.
- Leave on as directed: Allow the hydrogel to deliver glutathione, antioxidants, and collagen-supporting nutrients into the skin.
- Finish with gentle care: Avoid harsh cleansers like alkaline bar soaps afterward—stick to pH-balanced, fragrance-free, well-formulated skincare to maintain results.
