No Results From 15% TCA Peel

I had a 15% TCA peel. No sting/frost after 2 mins. Only slight tightening. Next day I had a second layer, swiping over cheeks several times. Barely any burning/frosting after 2 mins. Wrinkly skin, but presentable, not red. Day 4 peeling started, but the skin underneath is no different!

How long until I try another peel?
