From my own expirence you should get some gentle mild soap and wash your face down with that then you could buy some aloe vera gel that is a really natural substance that will clear your skin up!You should also drink plenty of water

You just have very sensitive skin. You’ve stated that this product does actually clear up your acne, so you shouldn’t change products. Stop using the treatment until burns go away. If it hurts, put a warm damp rag on your face to sooth it. Don’t put lotion or vaseline or oily products on your face, because they can make the acne worse. When your skin has healed, go back to using your treatment, but in smaller amounts.

Hey that sux about your burn. The same thing happened to me this summer. I used oxy pads and one morning i woke up with a gigantic blister on my nose. I made the mistake of messing with it but i advise you not to touch it. I had to be very gentle with the skin and only applied vitamin e oil on it. For some reason it worked really well and helped speed up the healing. You should go on hsn.com and look for the Serious Skin Care line. They have a line for acne and it wont burn when used as directed. Good luck
