[br]My dr. is having me use one tube of gel for 3 days (the same tube) on one part of my face at a time.  I started six days ago on my nose and upper cheeks.
I applied it first thing in the morning.
Day 1:  Skin got tight after a couple hours.  No real pain. Washed face that night.
Day 2:  Skin was bright red, looked and felt like a severe sunburn.  Very very sore.  Eyes were almost swollen shut when I woke up (skin under eyes).  After a couple hours, put Aquaphor on it.  Washed face that night.  Took 800 mg Ibuprofen and a sleeping pill.
Day 3:  Immense pain--- felt like my nose and cheeks were on fire.  Very red, sore.  Swollen eyes again first thing in the morning.  Felt just miserable all day.  Counted down the minutes til 8 hours had passed, then washed off.  Used Aquaphor.  Ibuprofen and sleeping pill.  
Day 4:  Woke up with NO pain!  Swollen eyes.  Skin was very red, blistering.  Used Aquaphor.
Day 5:  Skin still very red, but starting to peel.  Swollen eyes in morning.  Lots of Aquaphor.
Day 6 (today):  Lots of peeling.  Eyes much less swollen.  Skin is soooooo itchy.  Washed it several times with a mild face soap.  Used lots of Aquaphor.

I'll wait and use the gel on my forehead, then chin/lower cheeks in the fall.
