Glycolic Peel: Q&A

Can a Glycolic Chemical Peel Cause Wrinkles to Form Under Eyes?

I recently tried two glycolic chemical peels, one 30% and 50% but i think i had them two close together and received what i believe to be a chemical peel burn. I now have brown pigmentation and lines on my cheeks and under my eyes that look like wrinkles. It has been two months since my last chemical peel and the skin does not appear to be healing yet. I had been using tretinoin before the peels but im afraid to use it now because i do not want to cause any more irritation.

Tretinoin and kojic acid or hydroquinone may be beneficial in improving the undesired effects of the glycolic peels.
