Out of all of the peels and medications I have used (glycolics, lactic acid, salicylic, Obagi, TCA, Cosmelan 1 and 2, Retin A, Retin A Micro, and Azealic acid)—I prefer Cosmelan and Avene retrinal 0.05%.
I also prefer using just the Cosmelan 2 as a skin freshener. I use Cosmelan 2 on its own occasionally when I don’t feel like going through a full peel. Using the old Cosmelan 2 formula (with the higher pH) still gets you nice and red, which lasts about three days, and seems to make a difference in my overall skin clarity after it clears up. You do flake a bit, although not as thoroughly, of course, as if I had had the full Cosmelan peel.
