Description
Glyco 12 Cream is a dermatologist-recommended topical treatment containing 12% Glycolic Acid. It is primarily used to exfoliate dead skin cells, treat acne, reduce hyperpigmentation, fade scars, and minimize wrinkles. It is usually applied at night, and daily sunscreen is required during the day
- Active Ingredient: 12% Glycolic Acid (an Alpha Hydroxy Acid or AHA).
- Primary Uses: Treats acne, melasma, dark spots, fine lines/wrinkles, and uneven skin texture.
- How it Works: It deeply exfoliates the skin’s surface, unclogs pores, and increases the turnover rate of epithelial cells to reveal fresher, clearer skin.
- Price: Typically ranges between ₹280 and ₹360 for a 30g tube
Application: Usually best applied at night on clean, dry skin. Beginners often start with “Short Contact Therapy” (applying it for 15-30 minutes and washing it off) to let the skin build tolerance
un Sensitivity: Because it exfoliates the top layer of skin, it significantly increases your skin’s susceptibility to sunburn. You must use sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) during the day and limit sun exposure
Potential Side Effects: Mild redness, a tingling or stinging sensation, dryness, and peeling are common when first starting the cream. Severe irritation or blistering means you should stop use and consult a professional. [1, 2]
