About this study

Chemical peeling is an applied procedure which creates controlled destruction of all layers of the epidermis or dermis, subsequently causes exfoliation followed by regeneration of layers with the final result of improved texture and appearance of the skin. Various indications of chemical peeling actions include damage to skin structure (skin aging, scars, pigmentation disorders), superficial tumors (seborrheic keratosis, lentigo, actinic keratosis), and inflammation such as acne vulgaris. Various chemicals commonly used for procedures in peeling include alpha hydroxy acid or alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA) such as Glycolic Acid (GA) 20-70%, lactic acid, malic acid, pyruvic acid; beta hydroxy acids / BHA (10-30% salicylic acid), carbon dioxide snow, Jessner solution, lipohydroxy acid, resorcinol, retinoic acid, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), phenols, Baker - Gordon formula. In this study, the investigators are using glycolic acid 35% solution. Based on its mechanism of action, glycolic acid (GA) is a keratolytic agents, in which it penetrates the stratum corneum and interfere with corneocyte adhesion by damaging the intercellular desmosome bonds. Until now, GA is a superficial peeling that is very popular and most widely used throughout the world .

The advantages of GA peeling include odorless, colorless, painless, permanently effective, and minimal side effects. However, unlike non-AHA peeling materials, peels made from AHA cannot be neutralized by themselves. Without neutralization, AHA will penetrate deeper and may cause scars. Neutralization is the process of applying a base solution to stop the work of chemicals in peeling. In neutralization, liquids that can be used are alkaline liquids such as water, sodium bicarbonate, sodium hydroxide or ammonium saline solution to stop its work. In various literature, it is stated that water can be used as a neutralizing liquid in the chemical peels of AHA. It has also been mentioned in the literature that neutralization with sodium bicarbonate on the market does not provide any advantage over water use, as long as the acid is completely removed from the skin surface. The objective of this research is to look into the effectiveness, safety , and cost efficacy of water (H2O).

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Erythema degree (time frame: Initial assessment (minute 0)). The study lists 13 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Apr 2020.
