Prodermic 475 is a tri-acid acne system specifically designed for safe and effective acne treatment in Fitzpatrick IV-VI skin types, where standard peels carry elevated risk of post-acne dark spots. The MSA-3L Complex uses Mandelic Acid (20%) for its larger molecular size enabling slower, more uniform penetration that avoids patchy results, Salicylic Acid (15%) for deep pore penetration and pore-clearing, and Glycolic Acid (20%) for controlled surface exfoliation.

MSA-3L Complex — A mandelic acid-led tri-acid system designed for uniform penetration in melanin-rich acne skin.Mandelic Acid (20%), with its larger molecular size (152 Da), penetrates at a controlled, uniform rate that minimizes irritation and reduces the risk of dark spots in darker skin types. Salicylic Acid (15%) penetrates deep into oily pores to dissolve acne plugs. Glycolic Acid (20%) speeds up surface skin cell turnover to prevent new breakouts from forming.The safest professional acne peel combination for Fitzpatrick IV-VI patients.
Recommended sequence for prodermic 475. Frequency: As prescribed by professional.

In such cases, consider transitioning to a stronger peel, applying multiple coats, or increasing the application time in subsequent sessions.
