Asked By:beigia in Gainesville, FL

I had a 25% mandelic acid peel. Used before. I forgot I used salicylicacid serum 2% morning of on problem areas near chin- those are the areas visibly irritated. During peel patches looked white, thickened, and raised. After rinse skin was still white. It later turned red and I put aloe vera + occlusive before bed. Photos 12 hr post peel. Areas are sensitive and dark not bright red, smooth. I alternate tretinoin cream and AHA serum nightly. I have L-ascorbic based Vit C, can this help/irritate? Will I have patches?
