I am 23 years old and decided to get a glycolic peel for the first time few days ago. I went to a specialist and she said she will do a 30% peel on me. After the peel, I went home and my face was still burning, my right side of face is completely red and looks burned. Will it leave scars? I look like I have been hit by a train. I went back to the specialist and she said this is normal and it will peel, but for some reason it's just the right side of my face. Take a look at the photo.

Great review?
