I need guidance on what to do in order to speed up the peeling process on the sides of my face.
A month ago, I did a lactic acid 50% peeling oil treatment on my face for 1minute before washing it off because it immediately aggravated the festoons and upper eyelids. Thankfully, no PIH. But ,because the eye areas are so thin, the skin started peeling pretty quickly while the rest of the face took an extra week before it showed any sign or peeling/flaking.
2 weeks ago, I did a x2/day YPO treatment for 3 days on my entire body, face included, because they're generally much lighter than lactic acid 50% and it makes my skin glow. It worked out very well but it still wasn't enough to get the sides of my face and forehead to significantly peel.
My options now are:
a) doing another 3 day YPO treatment on the sides of my face and hope for the best. ( this might not be strong enough)
b) do a 50% lactic acid peel on the sides of my face. ( this is a burn risk because I would need it to set on my face ,for at least 2 minutes, which might not be possible due to skin sensativity.
c) do 1 day YPO(10min), next day lactic acid 50%(30secs to 1 minute) , following day YPO(10mins). (sounds crazy but I've done this before to get rid of some lite lactic acid and kojic acid burns on my chest/stomach back in December). Of course, I would cut the times down depending on how my skin feels. However, lactic acid still has that burn risk.
d) take time and exfoliate with only kojic acid soap and Retin A ( I know this will work ,but it will be slow; like another month)
e) wait another month before I apply anymore acids to my face.
Am I missing any other options? At this point, I'm leaning more towards option (c) because it has the potential to get me the fastest and most effective results.
Parts of my facial sides have peeled in patches. The highlighted area will be very sensitive to any acid I put on it. Its not sensitive now because I use hydrocortisone and antibiotic ointments(neosporin); but even kojic acid causes it to flare up.
