Am I having an allergic reaction to Glycolic Acid?
I've tried The Ordinary 7% Glycolic Acid Toning Solution for 2 days only at night time as they told on the packages. After day 1, everything is fine. But in day 3, I noticed tiny bumps appeared all over my face and my face's been getting red and itchy.The area around my lips is the worst, it gets red very easy even when I apply my moisturizer and it just gets thickening :( So I dropped everything in my skincare routine and only wash my face with water and moisturize after. I also applied the toner to my chest and it got very itchy as well :( I'm scared that I might have damaged my skin. It's day 4 and I cant tell whether it's getting better or not.

It does sound like a reaction- if it doesn't start to get better, get to your doctor and have them take a look- let them know what product you were using.
