increasing the degree of exfoliation and the possible appointment of additional procedures;
the use of retinoic peeling with dimexide, an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial drug. Such an exfoliant penetrates deeper into the layers of the epidermis, improving metabolic processes and destroying pathogenic microbes.
