Way Too Much Frosting, Way Too Much Burning - United Kingdom, GB
Would appreciate any sort of advice from fellow...
Would appreciate any sort of advice from fellow users of TCA 50% peels. I did one last night with extreme burning effects. My whole forehead frosted with what looked like plastic paint. I could not neuralize it nor would water cool it or rid it of the horrendous frosting. The burn lasted a good hour and my eyes and nose ran throughout the whole time. I have had 50% peels before and it was bareable but I guessed something was amiss here. I followed it accordingly and thought that I had bought the product from a reputable company in the States. Perhaps not? It eventually settled and I managed to get lanolin on the area. This morning I woke up to swelling on my eyes and forehead. It is red but the skin is not broken nor blistered however it still has a tinge of the frosting. My skin tone has changed and I have noticed some dark spots that I didnt have. I know the swelling will go down and the skin will heal itself naturally and of course I do feel like a dumb dumb for having put my skin through this. I guess I am just wondering if anyone else out there has experienced this or could offer me some advice. Thanks for reading, this is a fantastic website!

Oh my goodness, were you freaking out when it was burning? I think I would have been. I'm so glad that the skin wasn't broken.
