Surface Exfoliation – Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) loosens and dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to shed more efficiently.
Deep Absorption – The formula penetrates into the epidermis and dermis, helping to clear clogged pores, reduce acne, and refine skin texture.
Cellular Renewal – TCA stimulates cell turnover, encouraging fresh, healthy skin cells to replace dull and damaged ones.
Collagen Stimulation – As the skin renews, collagen production increases, improving skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines.

Chemical peels, or chemoexfoliation, can improve skin appearance by causing histological changes in the epidermal level by restoring the condition of atrophy and atypia accompanied by new subepidermal collagen deposition. In patients with extensive actinic keratosis and diffuse photodamage, peeling is preferable for individual lesions. Poon F., Kang S., Kang S., Chien A. L. Mechanisms and treatments of photoaging.
