I did a glycolic acid peeling 70%, since I had done it before I didn't realize it could burn me this badly. Next day I had a lot of bruise like spots in my face. After a couple of days they started to peel off and red skin appeared. It's been 2 weeks and my skin looks uneven, raised pink marks all over my face.
