I am confused as to how effective chemical peels really are. I was told by my doctor that they wont really have a large impact on wrinkles or pore size. So as an alternative, i was wondering if perhaps Retin-a would possibly be more effective or at least as effective as a medium level chemical peel such as Jessner?

This mark may have occured as resuly of either the microdermabrasion or the peel. Avoiding sun and frequent applications of moisturizer should help it heal. If it persists, you may need a bleaching cream. Talk to your doctor about it.
It is difficult to discuss what the problem is and what the solution(s) are without seeing a photo. Perhaps the puffiness you are describing is fat, which is not related to the outside skin or the topical treatment you have received. You should consult an oculoplastic surgeon.
