I have irritated and burnt my skin with benzoyl peroxide and aha/bha. a large part of my cheeks that are affected are darker in skin tone and somewhat reflects light(mayb the skin texture is damaged) after the redness subsided. is this permanent ?

Healing: The process of healing after an injury can take weeks. it's best to avoid strong sunlight on burned or injured skin while it's healing. Use sunscreen to avoid permanent skin color changes after it has healed.
