Description
The Sali T 50 Peel is a synergistic blend of salicylic acid (30%) and trichloroacetic acid (TCA, 20%) designed for medium-strength clinical exfoliation. This dual-action peel addresses multiple skin concerns—ranging from acne and oiliness to signs of aging—by dissolving intercellular “glue” and promoting the removal of damaged surface layers.
