On day 9 of my Vi peel and I don't see any improvements with brown spots or acne. This flare up was caused by a reaction to a mirena device which was removed 5 months ago but I'm still dealing with face issues. I'm Caucasian, 32, and have never had acne or brown spots before. Mirena destroyed my nice skin. Any help on this? I thought the Vi peel would help.

The two most important things after any chemical peel are bland emolliation (moisturization, hydration) and sun avoidance. I would recommend that you use something bland and gentle such as aquaphor ointment, Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer or Cerave Facial Moisturizing Lotion (AM or PM)....
If the Vi Peel solution was applied to your eyelids, you are probably having an irritant reaction to the peel. This should resolve on its own in a few days. Topical steroids and emollient creams will help as well. I doubt your reaction is from the Botox.
