The Jessner solution was created by German-American scientist Max Jessner in the 1940's. It was originally a combination of equal parts resorcinol, lactic acid and salicylic acid with an alcohol base. Modern versions of this peel have been strengthened with higher concentrations of lactic and salicylic acid while also adding a small amount of citric acid. Resorcinol was removed as an ingredient due to it being a skin irritant and causing hyper-pigmentation, especially in people with darker skin tones.
