Glycolic Acid Cream (50 ml, 5–12%)

Glycolic Acid Cream delivers a mild to moderate concentration (typically 5–12%) of pure alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), designed to gently exfoliate, brighten, and rejuvenate the skin. It’s formulated to refine texture, lighten pigmentation, and boost overall radiance.

Ingredients

• Glycolic Acid (5–12%) – Exfoliates dead surface skin to unveil smoother, brighter complexion.
• Soothing agents (e.g., aloe vera, panthenol) – Calm irritation and support skin recovery.
• Hydrating humectants (e.g., glycerin, hyaluronic acid) – Retain moisture to prevent dryness.
• Emollients (e.g., shea butter, botanical oils) – Smooth skin texture and replenish barrier.

Uses of Glycolic Acid Cream

• Promotes regular exfoliation to remove dull, dead skin cells
• Improves skin texture and enhances smoothness
• Fades dark spots, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation
• Minimizes fine lines and signs of aging
• Clears and tightens clogged pores, reducing breakouts

How It Works

• Glycolic Acid’s small molecules penetrate deeply to dissolve the glue binding dead cells, promoting cell turnover
• Stimulates collagen production over time, improving skin firmness
• Boosts effectiveness of moisturizers and actives used afterward
