Ive been using kojic and gylcolic cream and my skin seems to have gone a bit red? Is it irritated? What should I do?

Glycolic cream may be too harsh for your skin. It contains glycolic acid which is a chemical peel. It would seem after using those two you should be using a good moisturizer.

I use the glycolic every other day. But my skin just kind of peel this morning and now it seems sore. Is there any vitamins I can take to help it recover faster?

Stop using the gyloclic for a while. I would recommend Buy Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturizer from Canada at Well.ca (http://well.ca/products/clean-clear-dual-action_2703.html) should defenetly work vitamins will just take long and you just need a moisturizer the gyloclic is too strong wait unti your skin goes back to normal then use it once a week

Thanks! The skin had now gone leathery and has start to peel! So now I'm just keeping it moist and putting lots of aloe vera oil on it

Moisturizing creams that are rich in aloe vera will help to moisten the inflamed skin

If you find that glycolic acid is harsh, better switch to lactic acid.

Some moisturisers burn. I use a hydrcortisone cream or a neosporin cream to take the redness & sting out w/o irating the skin.
