I had done an at-home 30% glycolic peel (3 layers, each applied 2 min, 30 seconds after each other) for a total of 8 minutes. This is not the first time I have done the peel. I had stopped using TactuPump (Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide) two days prior of the peel. I am hoping that this will not scar. I have been using La Roche Posay Cicaplast (Post-peeling, epidermal recovery accelerator). I have also used SPF 60 Lotion only for the days I leave the house.
