Smell made me sick, didn’t realize it had phenol in it

The Smell Made Me Sick. Also Didn’t Realize This Peel Had Phenol in It.

First and foremost please note that this review isn’t based off my experience and not the results. I assumed this peel would have a smell, but I didn’t anticipate the smell being as bad as it did. I don’t know if I had more solution on than others, but the chemical smell made me sick. It started to sit in my lungs, I had to roll the car windows down on my way home. I asked myself, what the heck could be in this peel outside of what I already know? I looked up the ingredients and read the ingredient, phenol. Now, I am not sure if phenol was the cause of the strong odor but shouldn’t they disclose to you if a toxic chemical is one or the ingredients in the treatment you’re about to receive? I would have had second thoughts on getting this peel if I had known. I had a stomach ache all night and diarrhea. Not sure if that was because of nerves or the phenol. My body did not react well to absorbing whatever it absorbed. I’m also not sure if this solution got in one of my eyes. I washed my face thoroughly after 4 hours and one of my eyes has been red since. So far this has been a nightmare. I will post before and after pictures once I reach 7 days.
