I used Neostrata's 10% glycolic acid serum, a couple of days after I used their 4% cleanser and 4% moisturizer spf 30 and serum

Asked By:nadialebadah in Cambridge, MA

Red swollen itchy bumps all over my face, a very excessive amount, I feel so much texture when I touch my face and can see it too; never used glycolic acid products before/ The next morning my face was covered completely in little red itchy swollen bumps, my pores look enlarged also. This was 3 or 4 days ago! Please help why is this happening; will this go away by itself, and how soon?

Why did my face turn darker after chemical peel?
Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS says:

My strategy is to always use Melarase creams before and after a chemical peel if indicated. I would suggest using Melarase AM and Melarase PM now to prevent further darkening. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
