You are blessed if all you received is brown. I have serious scarring with some brown and all the way around my mouth is discolorarion and I can barely open my mouth to eat. It's bad that I rec'd this from a plastic surgeon, but never do anything like this at home. You may check into laser to see if that will help. I pray for you.

Hello, Im wondering what percent was the peel? Also there is a solution you can use hydoquinone forte which will make your skin even colored and eventually back to normal.You can get this cream either thru me or a doctor.Good Luck
