    Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge Awalk and for the skin care tips, I will ask my dermatologist about Retin A and try the sunscreen you suggested, thanks to your story, thank you CAgirl also for sharing yours, you are both saving us alot of heartache,that you unfortunately had to suffer. Awalk I was wondering what your opinion is and what you know about " Photofacials" are these in the same category as the treatment you had? Most people seem very pleased wtih the Photofacial treatment and the most negative response I read was that it didn't make a difference, other than that, most people said they looked dramatically amazing and skin looked much smoother and softer?

    What an unbelievable experience you had Awalk, I know nothing about any of these treatments and was just exploring the idea of having a chemical peel or buying a home kit, but after reading your story and seeing your pictures, I am now terrified to try anything, being that I am already quite leary of chemicals to begin with... even in my hair!! Thank you for sharing your story and the non-stop warnings you have posted, you are saving many people heartache that you unfortunately had to go through... I hope you will get a huge compensation!! I am 40yrs old and am just beginning to use sunscreen, as you know in our age group sunscreen wasn't a big thing growing up in the 70's and 80's, however after reading all of these horror stories I don't even want to try a chemical peel, I think I 'll just stick an SPF 50... all the best to you and don't stop petitioning until you win!!!!

    Dear CAgirl I feel so sorry for you, I know nothing about any of these treatments, I just stumbled upon it, while researching how to treat dilated pores and wanting more info about chemical peels, some people commented that their healing took as long as 6 months, so stay hopeful, and avoid the sun, it should get better... I hope...
