Will the skin around my eyes return back to normal on its own or should I be looking into treating it somehow?

Question

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.

You should immediately stop the glycolic acid lotion around the eyes. It sounds like you are having an allergic reaction to the product. If you are having allergy the product then your eyes she returned to normal over time.  With this being said, it would recommend seeing a professional such as a dermatologist,  nurse or a medical aesthetician for evaluation. I also hope this is not a home product bought over the internet because you can never know the quality of the product you're getting.I hope this helps
