42 Year Old, Tca Peel on my Legs Gone Bad

I did a tca peel on my legs 5 years ago for a couple of scars left by insect bites. It was my first time using this chemical. One that I regret using on my legs because after wards when the scabs fell off . I was left with bad hyperpigmentation and now my legs looked worst than before. I haven't wore any shorts dresses or skirts in a very long time. I've been doing alot of research online and reading reviews on anything that would help my legs clear up and I found a few products that are really helping me get my scars a little lighter. I've been using caudalie vin operfect serum, Retin A, obagi clear 3 and obagi blender 5. Its really helping my scars clear up. Im not 100% clear yet but i know this takes alot of patience and time.Hopefully i can wear shorts next summer.

No offense but the after picture looks like a remarkable improvement. Or is that from before you started using the Retin A?
before I started using Caudalie vino perfect serum. I was only using Retin -A and Obagi together but I didn't see any significant results using those two alone so i bought Caudalie because it had great reviews and i think using the serum with Retin-A and obagi gave me better results.
I think the "after" photo looks better from the photo. I used TCA on my face with such fabulous results so I also decided to try it on a scarred over bug bite on the side of one of my calves. It doesn't look bad, but the skin healed weird and has a tight, kind of rough texture. It bothers me. I wonder if I start using one of those creams for scars if it would soften the skin over time?
