Study summary

Chemical peels are resurfacing procedures where chemical agent causes controlled exfoliation of the skin, followed by regeneration and remodelling of the epidermis and dermis layers. Chemical peels can be used to treat various skin condition, such as skin aging, pigmentary disorders, and skin texture disorders. The use of moisturizer after chemical surgery can help speed up the wound healing process and repair the skin barrier. TCA chemical peel has more side effects than other chemical peel solutions. The risk of complications after TCA chemical surgery on Fitzpatrick IV-VI skin types is also higher, especially post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. There is no specific recommendations regarding the type of moisturizer that can be used after TCA chemical peels. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a cream containing spent grain wax, argan oil, and shea butter in reducing TCA peel side effects.
