Is pink skin normal after revepeel?

Question

All of my new skin is VERY pink after having a revepeel. Is this normal or should I be worried? I have been putting the soothing balm on it (similar to Aquafore)

It is normal to be pink right after the peel. Please continue the balm and be sure to avoid any sun exposure. The skin may then turn brown and then peel off. Don’t pick, just let skin flake off. Once peeling is done your skin may be slightly pink again. This fresh skin is sensitive like baby’s skin so continue to protect it and use mild products. Hope this helps.
