Tightness and leathery skin around eyes after Vi Peel 5 days ago, is this just the healing process?

I had a Vi Peel about 5 days ago. It seemed to peel very well initially but now the delicate skin around my eyes feels very tight and leathery. My practitioner applied the peel all the way under my eyes just avoiding contact with my eyes directly. Wasn't sure if that was normal or not or if the eye area should typically be avoided with this peel. It just feels like pulling and I want to know if its too early to judge the results and if I should be optimistic about this healing.
