Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is a chemical compound used in dermatological drugs. It is a colorless, odorless, crystalline solid that is soluble in water and alcohol. TCA is used in a variety of dermatological treatments, including chemical peels, wart removal, and skin lightening. It is also used to treat acne, wrinkles, and other skin conditions. TCA works by removing the outer layer of skin, which helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of aging. It also helps to reduce the appearance of acne scars and other blemishes. TCA is available in a variety of forms, including creams, gels, and solutions. It is also available in different concentrations, depending on the desired effect. The most common concentration is 25%, which is used for light to medium peels. Higher concentrations, such as 50%, are used for deeper peels. Several companies manufacture and distribute TCA products, including Allergan, Galderma, and Merz Pharmaceuticals. Other companies, such as Obagi Medical Products and SkinCeuticals, also offer TCA-based products. Show Less Read more
