When skin has been pushed to its limits by professional treatments or powerful exfoliation, it needs recovery, not more stimulation. The Post Treatment Recovery System is designed to gently cleanse, comfort, and restore compromised skin while supporting the skin barrier.
This two-step system pairs Ultra Comfort Cleanser, an exceptionally gentle gel cleanser that removes impurities without stripping delicate skin, with Ultra Comfort Cream, a rich barrier-repair moisturizer that delivers soothing hydration and visibly reduces redness.
Together, they help calm sensitized skin, replenish essential lipids, and support the skin’s natural recovery process after treatments such as chemical peels, microneedling, laser procedures, or intensive exfoliation.
Skin feels soothed, hydrated, and visibly healthier while the barrier regains strength.
Step 1: Cleanse
Apply Ultra Comfort Cleanser to damp skin and gently massage using light circular motions.
Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.
Use morning and evening.
Step 2: Repair
Apply Ultra Comfort Cream to face and neck after cleansing.
Use morning and evening, or as often as needed to comfort and hydrate skin.
Follow with sunscreen during daytime use.
Barrier Repair Lipids: Cholesterol + nourishing emollients help replenish the skin barrier and prevent moisture loss, which is critical after resurfacing treatments.
Skin Soothers: Bisabolol, Aloe, Panthenol, and Willowherb Extract calm visible redness and irritation while helping skin feel more comfortable.
Deep Hydration: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Jojoba Oil, and Pentylene Glycol deliver lasting hydration without heaviness or pore-clogging.
Antioxidant Protection: Vitamin E and Ascorbyl Palmitate help protect stressed skin from environmental damage during recovery.

Safety & Tolerance Ratings
Each DCL product is evaluated for Pregnancy Safety (PSE), Non-Comedogenic Index (NCI), and Hypoallergenic Evaluation (HAE). These independent ratings, provided by Milbar Labs, provide transparency and help you choose products with confidence.
The Post-Treatment Recovery Duo combines two exceptionally gentle formulas designed to cleanse and restore compromised skin without the use of ingredients typically restricted during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
The system focuses on barrier repair, calming botanicals, and hydration, making it well suited for sensitive skin during pregnancy.
✅ Pregnancy-safe moisturizers and emollients
Ingredients such as caprylic/capric triglyceride, jojoba oil/esters, sunflower wax, and cholesterol help reinforce the skin barrier and support hydration.
✅ Soothing botanicals and skin-calming actives
Aloe, chamomile, willowherb, bisabolol, allantoin, and laminaria extract help reduce visible redness and irritation.
✅ Barrier-repair and skin-conditioning ingredients
Panthenol, glycerin, and pentylene glycol help maintain moisture balance and support skin recovery.
⚠️ Standard cosmetic preservatives (phenoxyethanol, chlorphenesin, sodium benzoate) are used at safe levels according to global cosmetic safety guidelines. Those with extremely sensitive skin may prefer patch testing.
❌ No retinoids, hydroquinone, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid peels, or high-strength exfoliating acids.
Because both formulas are non-exfoliating and barrier-supportive, they are well suited for pregnancy-safe skincare routines focused on hydration and skin comfort.
The Post-Treatment Recovery Duo is designed primarily for sensitive or compromised skin, prioritizing hydration and barrier repair over oil control. Most ingredients are non-comedogenic, though the rich cream may feel heavy for very acne-prone skin types.
✅ Low-comedogenic cleansing base
Ultra Comfort Cleanser uses mild surfactants that cleanse without stripping or clogging pores.
✅ Non-pore-clogging hydrators
Glycerin, pentylene glycol, panthenol, and aloe hydrate without contributing to congestion.
⚠️ Richer emollients in the cream
Ingredients such as isopropyl myristate, triglycerides, and waxes help restore compromised skin barriers but may feel heavy for oily or acne-prone users.
⚠️ Occlusive barrier ingredients
Cholesterol, plant waxes, and lipid-rich emollients support barrier repair but can be slightly occlusive.
Overall, the duo is best suited for dry, sensitive, or post-treatment skin rather than acne-prone skin types.
The formulas prioritize gentle, skin-soothing ingredients, making them appropriate for sensitive skin, though as with any skincare product, some individuals may experience sensitivities.
✅ Minimal fragrance risk
The formulas do not contain added fragrance or essential oils that commonly trigger irritation.
✅ Calming botanical ingredients
Aloe, chamomile, willowherb extract, and bisabolol help reduce irritation and redness.
⚠️ Preservatives
Phenoxyethanol, chlorphenesin, and sodium metabisulfite are widely used cosmetic preservatives that can rarely cause sensitivities in extremely reactive skin.
⚠️ Botanical extracts
Chamomile, green tea, and willowherb extracts are generally well tolerated but may trigger rare botanical sensitivities.
Overall, the system is well suited for sensitive skin and post-procedure care.

Like the way it feels.
great
Comforting and mild. Love it.
Back in November, my cousin let me borrow her DCL ultra comfort cream. I loved it so much that I immediately purchased one. I’ve have since purchased my second one and will continue! This cream is so moisturizing and makes my skin feel so good.
I live in an extremely dry and harsh climate. This face cream really helps me deal with the worst winter dryness on what is already naturally dry skin. I hope they never stop making this cream and they keep the formula! :) :)
