Glyco 6 Glycolic Acid Cream

Product Overview

Glyco 6 and Glyco 12 are dermatological creams containing glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) known for its exfoliating and skin-renewing properties. These creams are commonly prescribed to treat acne, dark spots, melasma, uneven skin tone, fine lines, and rough skin texture.

Glyco 6 contains 6% glycolic acid and is generally recommended for beginners or sensitive skin. Glyco 12 contains 12% glycolic acid and is stronger, usually prescribed for more stubborn pigmentation, acne marks, and thicker skin. Both work by gently exfoliating the outer layer of the skin, removing dead cells, unclogging pores, and stimulating new cell turnover.

Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin as directed by your doctor, usually at night. Avoid applying on broken, irritated, or inflamed skin. Use sunscreen during the day while using these creams, as glycolic acid can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Results are gradual and improve with consistent use.

Uses of Glyco 6 & Glyco 12 Cream

• Treatment of acne and acne marks

• Management of melasma

• Improvement of uneven skin tone and dull skin
