Acne peel left for 2 hours?
Hi, my doctor applied a medi acne peel on my active acne. It contains Undecylenic Acid (15%), Salicylic Acid (15%), Lactic Acid (15%), TCA (5%), Ethanol (as Solvent), Retin A (0.50 %), Phytic Acid (1%), Vitamin C (0.50%), Vitamin E (0.10%), Hamamalis Water (1%)
My question is, I have read online it should only be left for 3-4 minutes. Is there any reason why it should be left on for 2 hours?
Also I washed it after as soon as I got home (7-10 minutes). How do i ensure no adverse effects? Should I use eumosome?

Peel should be kept on the skin for a maximum of 5mins and then cleaned off . Proper post care should be maintained starting from the day of peel till at least 7days to avoid any adverse effects. We need to examine you and then decide the further line of treatments . You can visit us or do an online consultation .
