Glyco 6% Cream is a topical skincare formulation containing 6% w/w glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps exfoliate the outer layer of the skin. It is designed to help manage rough or dry skin and improve the appearance of uneven skin texture.
Glycolic acid works by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells, helping them shed from the skin's surface. With appropriate use, this process can help skin look smoother and improve the appearance of certain dark spots and post-acne marks.

Rough or uneven skin texture.
Dull-looking skin.
The appearance of certain dark spots and post-acne marks.
Buildup of dead skin cells that can contribute to clogged pores.
Results vary depending on skin type, the condition being treated, and how the product is used. Glycolic acid can also cause irritation, dryness, redness, or peeling.
Glyco 6% Cream works through the exfoliating action of glycolic acid.
Exfoliates the skin: Helps loosen dead skin cells on the outer skin layer.
Supports skin renewal: Helps the skin shed surface cells and reveal fresher-looking skin.
Improves skin texture: May help soften the appearance of rough, uneven areas.
Helps with uneven tone: With appropriate use, it may improve the appearance of some dark spots and post-acne marks.
Glycolic acid is not suitable for every skin type, and excessive use can damage the skin barrier or cause irritation.
Cleanse the affected area with a mild cleanser and gently pat dry.
Apply a small amount as a thin layer to the intended area, following the product label or your dermatologist's instructions.
Avoid the eyes, eyelids, lips, and other sensitive areas.
Wash your hands after application, unless you are treating your hands.
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day, as glycolic acid can increase sensitivity to sunlight.
Do not apply more frequently or in larger amounts than directed.
