- medium peels, carried out with trichloroacetic acid (TCA) at a concentration varying from 15 to 35%, which eliminate the epidermis and the upper part of the dermis. They are made by applying fruit acids (AHA, glycolic acid), salicylic acid which is effective for acne, or kojic acid which improves pigmentary disorders (brown spots), wrinkles ...
