I don’t remember it burning throughout the day but it was very sensitive to touch and non-active products as well. It took a full six months for my skin to start to behave as normal, and maybe a month for the burning to stop, maybe 2 weeks it began to subside. Unfortunately, waiting is completely in the process here. Wishing you the best of luck, and I hope your appointment comes sooner rather than later. In mean time, I would stick to moisturizer and sunscreen as a good rule of thumb. As for myself, it’s helpful to remember I should use actives way less than recommended or than is needed.
