I used 10% glycolic acid eye lotion over my eyelids and surrounding eye area for a week to get rid of pigmentation. My eyes feel extremely tight and my eyes have actually gotten a lot smaller from it. I've discontinued the product, will the skin around my eyes return back to normal on it's own or should i be looking into treating it somehow.

Hi nadialebadah - it sounds like you are experiencing some sort of reaction to any one of those products. Allergic reactions typically take around 7-10 days to heal completely. I suggest consulting with a board-certified dermatologist for a treatment plan that is best suited for your skin type....
