Evidence by route

Topical application

Weak evidence. In vitro data, open-label studies, or expert consensus.

Small clinical studies show moisturizing and exfoliating effects with better tolerability than AHAs. Antioxidant properties (iron chelation) are a unique advantage among acids. No independent large RCTs.
