Dark spots after Salicylic Acid peel normal? (Photos)

Asked By:Beautyhelp in Miami, FL

Used an at-home salycilic acid 30% as guided by the instructions and left on for two minutes. This is what my skin looks like a couple of hours after. Is this a normal effect or is it a sign of hyperpigmentation? This is a picture of the left and right cheeks.
