I wanted to use peels to help with my acne scars, it made matters worse. My nose is red for whatever i don't know.

It produced an adverse effect and burned the top layers of my nose? or got it infected? acne? i don't know. I used salicylic acid, glycolic acid and lactic acid at diff times over the course of a month or two (peels from skin laboratory). It made my nose permanately red and produced discoloration all over my face.

I haven't used peels since this effect on my nose ~1.5 month ago. I'm out of idea and don't know what to do, any recommendation for routines and treatment?

I think its just need a time to recover after this procedure. Its all depend on ur type of skin. So just be patience.

Was this an at home treatment? I am in an Esthetics class now, and these types of peels aren't really good for home use, especially if you've never had a peel done before. Your skin type, and condition, and contraindications all have something to do with how your skin reacts to different treatments. If you don't mind me suggesting, if you go to a school near you that has this class, they may can help you figure out what you need to do from this point on. If there isn't a school near you, then I would go to a dermatologist and take the product with you, and they will be able to help you there. Sorry for your horrible experience, results usually aren't like that unless you don't do something correctly. I hope this information helps out some. Good luck! :)

Thanks for responding, yep it was an at home treatment, i did see a dermatologist he told me it was acne and prescribed soem treatment for it, but it usually irritates me more. Now im just using fruit of the earth's aloe vera gel to sooth my skin, it has gotten a little better, it is still a little pink, but not as bad as the picture.

I have used at home peels before and love the results. Part of your problem may have been not only the mixture of different peels. But also the strength and application. A month is not long enough time to do the different peels with the recovery time necessary.
Look into Argan oil. It has greatly helped my skin's recovery process :) Hope your skin gets better and stick w the acne treatment for a bit. At least three weeks. That is the recommended time frame for trying out a new skin care regime to see if it works.

Hello, I was wondering how your skin is doing now? With home peels, you do really need to be careful. Asian skin is the most sensitive skin type there is. Chemical peels can cause damage and permanently hyperpigmentate this skin type. Your best bet would to probably use a salicylic acid based product, oil free moisturizer and sunblock daily for your skin. A gentle cleanser to keep your pores clean. Sometimes overstimulating your skin makes it look and feel worse. I hope you are well.
