Recall that benzoyl peroxide, alpha-hydroxy acids and tretinoin thin the stratum corneum and enhance penetration of the acids. [Pg.104]

The best results are achieved when the skin has been prepared for 15 days beforehand see Chapter 2. If the skin has been prepared with tretinoin or alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), if the patient has used products (benzoyl peroxide) or techniques (scrub, or abrasion with a massage glove) that increase the permeability of the stratum corneum, the resorcinol paste should not be left on too long. [Pg.185]

These include 10-15% trichloroacetic acid (TCA), alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), beta-hydroxy acids such as salicylic acid, topical tretinoin, and one to two coats of Jessner s solution [14% resorcinol, 14% salicylic acid, 14% lactic acid, and ethanol). These peels penetrate the stratum corneum and possibly the upper layers of the stratum spinosum. Because of the very superficial depth of pene-... [Pg.19]
