I have been using retinoic acid at 2% strength every night for about 8 days now. I bought something multi fruit acid (it's apparently got all the AHAs) and have been advised to use it once every three days as a toner. But when I applied it it stung so much and my face turned white!!!!!! I washed it off immediately, then it stayed white for about two minutes before my skin returned to its normal colour. I just want to know, will my skin be damaged or peel extremely?
