This could be: an allergic reaction to one or more ingredient of the cream or one of the side effect of the cream. Since the involved area is your face which is one of the most important visible part of the body i suggest to you to go to an Urgent care or ER if you can get a hold of your doctor by phone.

Irritant: The hair removal cream contains irritating ingredients and you might have used more than the amount recommended or just have more sensitive skin than usual. If there is just mild irritation (redness and mild swelling) without blisters, topical hydrocortisone cream may help. If there are blisters, get to the ER to get treated.
