Hey so I used this acne cream ONCE, left it on overnight, and when I woke up my left cheek and my chin was dry and itchy and scaly, and no matter how much lotion I use it won't go away :'( please please please help me! I've definitely learned my lesson about keeping it on overnight!!

Ouch, that sounds like a chemical burn. Apply a gentle moisturizer and let it be. Take an antiinflammatory (ibuprofen or acetaminophen) if it hurts. Keep it clean and it will heal. Ouch, sorry that happened!
