Summary
The aim of this pilot study is to conduct a controlled comparison of the efficacy and safety
of a combination peel (glycolic acid and salicylic acid) as compared to glycolic acid peel
alone in the treatment of melasma. Our primary outcome is objective improvement in
pigmentation as evaluated using a colorimeter. Our secondary outcomes are subjective
improvement using the Melasma Area and Severity Index (MASI) and Patient and Physician Global
assessment, as well as assessment of treatment tolerability and patient satisfaction.
