Using a cotton tip applicator, a single coat of commercially prepared 50% GA peeling agent was evenly applied to the patient's face. Neutralization of the peel was done on reaching uniform erythema (endpoint) within 3-5 minutes. If frosting was observed in any area before the set time or endpoint, the area was neutralized with sodium bicarbonate
