Easy Phytic® solution application

Either the applicator provided with the product or the point of a 30G1/2 needle should be used to limit the action precisely to the head of the comedone. In 95% of cases, comedolysis is achieved. Very large macrocomedones (>2 mm in diameter) can benefit from careful infiltration of Easy TCA or Easy Phytic solution into the center of the comedone. Post-peel care, which is very important, consists in avoiding comedogenic cosmetics, having the skin cleansed professionally once a month, and applying an antiacne cream containing AHAs, tretinoin or precursors, disinfectants, anti-inflammatories, tea-tree oil, etc." once or twice a day. For details of this treatment, see Chapter 15. 

Easy Phytic solution, in spite of its pH of 0.5, causes almost no flaking and penetrates more evenly than other AHAs, because of its formulation and application procedure. 

Treatment of other areas of the body with AHAs is not often described, because of the poor penetration of these acids through the skin of the body. A technique combining abrasion and an application of Easy Phytic solution (see Chapter 11) is more successful on the legs, arms and torso. 

The trial protocol currently being used is the following apply a single layer of Easy Phytic solution in the morning and leave it to act during the time it takes to brush the teeth. Take a shower. Repeat the application every day for 3 consecutive days. 

Even and rapid application, neutralization before the first pinpoint frosting, except for Easy Phytic solution, which is neutralized naturally by the buffer potential of the skin itself... 

Easy Phytic (see Chapter 11) solution is particularly well tolerated by patients with ichthyosis, who soon feel an improvement in the elasticity of the superficial layers of the skin, which pulls less after the first applications.
