INTRODUCTION

The acneiform eruption can occur in up to 80% of patients after the ablative procedures with more frequency in subjects with a previous acne history. The use of occlusive moisturizing and/or corticosteroid potency also seems to be implicated in the increase of acneiform eruption. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effect of a topical serum containing 4.5% phyto botanical blend (extracts of cucumber, thyme, olive, mulberry and eucalyptus leaves), 0.2% of hyaluronic acid and 9,5% of glycerin after ablative fractional carbon dioxide (AFC02).The acneiform eruption can occur in up to 80% of patients after the ablative procedures with more frequency in subjects with a previous acne history.
