Something strange: Jessner solution is a mixture of several chemicals-salicylic acid 14 per cent, Lactic Acid and resorcinol in an ethanol base. Where did you get this from? It when used alone-usually just causes a mild frosting of the skin. You get a real real you need to apply another chemical after it-such as salicylic acid. This is called a medium depth peel. It is usually done on light skinned patients.
