This author discusses the utility and versatility of the modern croton oil peel, which, unlike older formulations, may be used for all ages and skin types for effective and long-lasting skin resurfacing. He provides the rationale for various croton oil concentrations, focusing on avoiding complications while achieving a desirable clinical result and includes a comprehensive guide to application, appropriate formulas, and the perioperative process. Of significance is that this is a procedure with a distinct learning curve; the goal for the experienced practitioner is to control the application process, proceeding slowly enough to be able to stop at the appropriate depth.
