It does not need to be neutralised like other exfoliating acids—in fact it cannot be neutralized. Therefore a neutraliser solution is not necessary. The strength of a TCA peel is not gauged by the percentage of the acid, but by the VOLUME of solution applied and the NUMBER of coats of solution. It is best to apply a light even coat, in multiple layers, until a light frost is achieved, to get exceptional results.
