A week after I stopped using the compound on my face, I look almost normal. Tho there seems to be crusty dry skin left on my cheeks. I hope it will peel.
I used the compound on my chest, which had seen too much sun over the years. That was a worse experience than my face. It is ten days out from the use of the cream and it is ugly with red splotches and itches a lot. I have used hypericum extract, and that offers relief from the itching on my chest.
I have CeraVe cream and will also try that.
I am surprised to hear that some of you have had to use this multiple times (annually?). I do not look forward to another round.
Thanks to all who have offered advice, support and information.
