Glyco 6% Cream

Glyco cream 6% reduces acne and pimples. It helps in decongesting clogged pores, making it suitable for those with acne-prone skin. By preventing the formation of dead-skin plugs and minimising the appearance of enlarged pores, it supports clearer skin with reduced breakouts. Glyco 6 cream can also be used as a supportive treatment for keratosis pilaris (tiny bumps on arms/thighs), rough elbows, or hyperpigmentation on the neck and underarms. It is a dermatologist-recommended formulation designed to exfoliate, smooth, and brighten the skin using the powerful action of Glycolic Acid 6%, a clinically proven Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA). This medium-strength AHA concentration is ideal for individuals looking to improve skin texture, reduce dullness, fade pigmentation, unclog pores, and achieve an even, youthful glow without switching to aggressive chemical peels. The cream is suitable for most skin types—especially oily, combination, and acne-prone skin—while also benefiting early signs of ageing. One of the key benefits of Glyco Cream 6% is its ability to reduce sun-induced pigmentation, tanning, acne marks, and uneven patches, making it an excellent daily-use brightening and resurfacing cream. With consistent application, users experience improvements in skin luminosity, softness, and clarity. The formula helps reduce fine lines, mild wrinkles, and early signs of ageing by stimulating collagen activity and supporting the skin’s natural rejuvenation process. Glycolic Acid is known for its small molecular size, which allows it to penetrate deeply into the skin. When applied regularly, Glyco Cream 6% helps accelerate cell turnover, dissolving the layers of dead skin accumulated on the surface. This process promotes fresher, smoother skin underneath and enhances the absorption of other skincare products such as serums and moisturisers.

How to use Glyco 6 Cream ?

Before applying Glyco 6% cream, clean your face with a mild soap or cleanser to remove impurities like dirt and makeup.  Pat skin dry with a cotton towel. Take a small amount of cream onto your fingertips and gently apply it to the affected areas or as directed by the dermatologist.  Massage the cream in circular motion, avoiding the eyes, lips, nose and mouth. It is best applied at night because it increases skin sensitivity to the sun. Also, when stepping out in the sun, apply sunscreen with SPF of at least 30. If your skin feels dry or sensitive, use a moisturiser after applying the Glyco 6% cream for a few minutes.  

What precautions should be taken?

Avoid applying near the eyes, mouth, or on broken skin. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their dermatologist before considering the medicine.  Glyco 6 cream should not be used with retinoids, as using them together may irritate the skin.

What are the side effects of Glyco 6 Cream ?

Glyco Cream 6% is lightweight, fast-absorbing, and easy to apply as part of your evening skincare routine. However, since AHAs can increase sun sensitivity, it is essential to use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher during the day. Beginners or those with sensitive skin may start using the cream on alternate nights to allow the skin to adapt.
