You may be allergic to the products you are using, including aquaphor. Cetaphil is an excellent cleanser after laser. Call your doctor as they can evaluate your skin and offer you an alternate moisturizer. You may also have an infection if it is red and burning.
If your face burns then the products are not gentle enough for your face. Cetaphil or Cerave are over the counter gentle cleansers and moisturizers for your face. Each office's protocol are different so follow up with your laser provider.

Hello! Congratulations! Now, this depends on what type of PCA peel you are receiving. While pregnant you are not able to use certain ingredients and acids, I would be on the safe side and ask whoever is performing the peel and see what type they are giving you, and always check with your doctors...
Hello! No that would not cause enlarged pores. Enlarged pores are normal as it is part of the skin, you can minimize pores but they will never disappear. Chemical peels will actually help with enlarged pores! Best of Luck! Dr. Julia Spears MD
