Abstract

One of the resources available aimed at improving skin quality are chemical peels, that can include the use of several active substances. Superficial peels reach the epidermis only and usually cause a slight desquamation for cell renewal, however they are not free of complications. The authors present a report of a patient who had contact dermatitis linked to retinoic acid, after undergoing a combined peeling procedure with Jessner's solution followed by 5% retinoic acid.
