4 days post Vi Peel & I'm peeling, but my face isn't red/sensitive like reviews I read, except my right eyelid. Is it normal?

Is that normal? I've read on all these reviews that their faces are either red or sensitive but mine isn't. My new skin looks clear! But as soon as I put on the moisturizer on my right eye lid it burned out of all the areas? Is that normal?

Purchasing skincare products via the internet can be risky.  You can never really be sure if the product is real even if it appears to be in the original packing.  I suggest you locate a board certified Dermatologist in your area to be safe for your skincare needs.

Between heavier peels, we would suggest lighter chemical peels and application of Melarase creams + Melapads daily alpha-beta pads.  These products can help improve your melasma. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
