SUMMARY
A company has developed a skin peel formulation consisting of 33% TCA (trichloroacetic acid), 5% kojic acid, and 62% hydrogen peroxide. Users reported that this specific combination does not result in visible peeling, which raises questions about its effectiveness. However, forum rules prohibit assistance in creating homemade versions of such products, emphasizing the importance of safety and regulatory compliance in cosmetic formulations.
