Glyco 6 %W/W Description
Glyco 6 cream is a topical cream used to treat hyperpigmentation, photodamaged skin and acne. It contains glycolic acid, which has antibacterial, antioxidant and humectant properties. Glycolic acid exfoliates the top layer of the skin, clearing acne and improving skin texture and tone. It also helps to retain moisture in the skin.
Glyco 6 cream is for external use only. Do not use it without consulting a doctor or dermatologist. If you are using other topical creams, tell your doctor. It is advised to wear protective clothing and sunscreen when using Glyco 6 cream.
GA 6 cream, Peellite gel and Gaplift 6 cream also contain glycolic acid as their main ingredient.
