Glyco-12 is a topical cream that contains 12% glycolic acid, which is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane. Glycolic acid is commonly used in skincare products for its exfoliating properties, helping to remove dead skin cells, promote cell turnover, and improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin.
Uses:
- Exfoliation: Helps to slough off dead skin cells, revealing fresher skin underneath.
- Texture improvement: Can improve skin texture, making it smoother and more radiant.
- Reducing fine lines: May help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.
- Acne treatment: Can be beneficial for acne-prone skin by unclogging pores and reducing breakouts.
- Hyperpigmentation: May help lighten dark spots and even out skin tone.
Application:
- Clean the skin thoroughly before applying the cream.
- Apply a small amount to the affected area, typically at night, as AHAs can increase sensitivity to sunlight.
- Follow with sunscreen during the day to protect the skin.
Precautions:
- Conduct a patch test before using to check for any allergic reactions.
- Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
- Not recommended for use on broken or irritated skin.
- Gradually introduce the product into your skincare routine to minimize irritation.
Side Effects:
- Possible side effects include redness, irritation, or peeling, especially for those with sensitive skin. If severe irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
Always consider consulting with a healthcare provider or dermatologist for personalized advice, especially if you have specific skin conditions or concerns.
