A member asked:
Are redness, darker skin tone and uneven texture caused by irritation of skin from products that might cause burn such as retinol permanent or will it fade overtime ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most will fade: Most of the time, these types of injury are temporary and will fade. The fading may be as quick as a few days or some may last a few months. However, it is extremely rare to be permanent.
