3 weeks after CO2 laser for pigment and still very red?

glitter11
I have had 3 aggressive courses spaced apart to get rid of dark pigment. Have been using vitamin c cream everyday plus intense brightening serum with kojic acid nightly and every third night a cream called Meladeep. So the pigment does not come back and the area stays light. But I find I am red raw in the area. Am not in any pain though. Should I continue with the products I was told to use is this normal to help it all not go back to darker skin?
