I have done salicylic acid and glyceric acid peel before 3 days for severe acne. I had done comedo extraction on that day too. But till now my face is not peeling off. Why? What need to do? Should I worried about it or not?

Hello Madam, May I know what percentage of the peel was used. Glycolic acid peels often resolve with redness rather than peeling of skin. And as far as salicylic acid peels are concerned, they usually begin between 2-5 days, so it may still happen. But a lot of it happens at a microscopic level so it may not always happen visibly. You should apply the recommended sunscreen daily and try to remain in the shade during peak hours of sun. You should also apply the recommended moisturisers.
