Salicylic acid se jal gayi muh! Kya galat kiya? 😭🔥 Skin burning tips pls!

yaar i finally bought the minimalist salicylic acid serum after seeing so many reels. used it last night. aaj subah uthi to muh jal raha hai literally 😭 cheeks pe redness aa gayi aur skin feel ho rahi hai like it's burning. kya galat kiya maine? i applied it on damp skin maybe? ya fir mujhe start with lower percentage karna chahiye tha?

honestly i'm so done. pehle pimple popping se daag, ab ye serum burn. relatives ka to kya hi kehna, they'll be like "natural cheezein lagao, besan haldi" jaise kuch naya bata rahe hain 🙄. but seriously, has anyone faced this with salicylic acid? should i stop using it completely? ya koi soothing moisturizer recommend karo jo is burning ko thoda calm kare. pls help, my skin is crying literally 😭
