Using a cotton tip applicator, a single coat of commercially prepared 50% GA peeling agent was evenly applied to the patient's face. Neutralization of the peel was done on reaching uniform erythema (endpoint) within 3-5 minutes. If frosting was observed in any area before the set time or endpoint, the area was neutralized with sodium bicarbonate

Using a cotton tip applicator, a single coat of commercially prepared 30% SA peeling agent was evenly applied to the patient's face, moving from the forehead and advancing to the cheeks, chin, glabella, nose, and perioral area. Once white crystallization appeared, patients were asked to wash their faces with water.

Commercially prepared MJ peel was applied using a gauze piece and light hand pressure. A single coat of peel was uniformly applied over the entire face. The coat was allowed to dry completely until erythema or frosting occurred, at which point patients were asked to wash their faces with cold water.
