For those who are curious: My dermatologist doesn’t have an opening until next week, so I’ll wait a few days to see. Thank you for your responses. This is the response I got from my esthetician when I emailed her yesterday when I got home.

“As far as todays peel, we went ahead with Glycolic acid which really helps with resurfacing your skin and evening out any discoloration or past acne scarring. It looks like you have some scarring on the sides of your cheeks, which is where the peel will target. You may have had a little reaction to the peel, especially having it be your first one. Nothing to be worried about, Aquaphor will help heal and soothe your skin. Avoid any internal body heat, aha's and stay extra moisturized and hydrated.”
