salicylic acid and bp nightmare

Hi, I have used salicylic acid face wash heavily along with Benzoyl Peroxide, my skin type is really sensitive. My under eyes have gonna really red and burt and left me with deep wrinkles when smiling, one of the eyes have completely recovered as it didn't have much deep wrinkles, although the other eye looks really wrinkly and the wrinkles look deep, I am only 21 and my skin was like baby's skin, didn't have any wrinkles before the bp use. I am really worried and depressed because of the wrinkles, the wrinkles been there for a week now and I'm scared they will stay there forever, I moisturise a lot and drink a lot of water, sleep for more than 8 hours, I don't smoke or drink I am a healthy person also have good gens as my mom is 50 and barely have any wrinkles, so did my grandma. I am afraid that the bp and salicylic acid gave me premature wrinkles. Ps I don't suffer with acne I had couple of pimples at the time and used bp only a couple of time.

It sounds like this is some kind of reaction- I would think that you could repair it and that it should get better with time- but you really need a doctor to take a look at the skin in order to be sure of what is happening.  

I have a few friends that use products called rodan and fields to repair some damage to their skin-  the products seem pretty good, so if you are looking for something to give a try, I'd go with that- but also highly encourage you to have a doctor take a look.  I believe you can get the products online if you just google the name.  They do have eye cream and products for reversing damage- but I don't recall the name of them.  I'm sure that their web site has the info though!
