I had a blue radiance peel about 8 days ago. Reacted fine to the peel but am having intense redness, burning, and red patches on new skin after using tretinoin cream. It burns to wash my face with Cetaphil and to use the moisturizer..almost like a sunburn. I have another peel this afternoon. Should I call and reschedule?
