I got a pyruvic acid peel about a week ago, immediately after the peel I started getting water boils all over face? (Photos)

Fast forward a week later boils went down, skin turned very dark and brown and then peeled but now I have huge craters, very rough and flaky skin, esthetician said I will continue to peel for another week, but I'm so worried this doesn't seem normal (crater, rough, and flaky skin) I am moisturizing heavily all day - I think this peel ruined my skin - will my skin heal and ever get back to normal? Please help
