Comparative Evaluation of Therapeutic Efficacy and Safety of 90% Lactic Acid Peel Versus 40% Pyruvic Acid Peel in Epidermal Melasma
There was significant reduction in MASI and MELASQol scores as compared to baseline using both lactic acid and pyruvic acid peel, but lactic acid 90% peel showed slightly better results compared to pyruvic acid 40% peel, though not statistically significant. Both peels were safe. Mild burning sensation was reported by a few patients.
