Neutrogena acne-prone peeling gel caused severe skin reaction, what should I do?

If you have a bad response to Neutrogena's acne-prone peeling gel, it could mean that you are sensitive to its ingredients. Stop using it right away and wash your face gently with a mild cleaner that doesn't have any scent to get rid of any leftover product. Putting on a cool cloth can help reduce swelling and calm skin that is itchy.

To help your skin heal, choose a moisturiser that is gentle, hypoallergenic, and doesn't contain any smells, dyes, or alcohol that could be irritating.Some ingredients, like aloe vera and colloidal oatmeal, are known to be soothing and can help calm the face.

Also, over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream might help reduce swelling, but it should only be used occasionally and not for long amounts of time to avoid possible side effects.
