Ask the peeler what has been their experience in folks like you who had what they did.

A little redness following a 70% Glycolic Acid peel is not unusual. The area around the jawline is a bit more susceptible to post inflammatory hyperpigmentation so make certain you are using the proper post peel creams to the area. If it persists, then best to see your provider and see if this needs some more attention.
