چکیده
Department of Dermatology, Korea University, Ansan Hospital College of Medicine, Korea University, 516 Gojandong, Ansan-si Kyeonggi-do 425-707, Korea Salicylic acid (SA) has recently been used in higher concentrations as a superficial chemical peeling agent. The author evaluated the efficacy and safety of SA peels as a treatment of acne vulgaris in Asian people. The results prove that this peel is the agent of choice for a number of reasons. Firstly, the lipophilic nature of salicylic acid attacks the comedone with a specific comedolytic action. Secondly, the anti-inflammatory property of salicylic acid is helpful for inflammatory acne lesions and post-inflammatory erythema. Thirdly, this non-inflammatory peel is safe in darker skin types and in the treatment of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

In my opinion, Salicylic acid at concentrations of 15-20% remains the best option for superficial peel in pigmented skin (Fitzpatrick types V and VI) with acne and/or excessive sebum secretion. At a lower concentration (15% -20%), Salicylic acid peel is equally effective in pigmented skin with acne. It reduces the number of both inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions. It has a comedolytic ef...
