Dear Reader,

That’s a very valid concern, and what you’re describing may actually be skin purging, not necessarily a bad reaction, especially since you’ve been using Glyco 6 cream for about a week.

Here’s what’s happening: Glyco 6 (6% glycolic acid) speeds up the skin’s cell turnover, meaning it brings clogged pores, oil, and trapped impurities to the surface faster than usual. This can make it look like new pimples are appearing, but in reality, your skin is just clearing out deeper blockages.

It’s likely purging if:

• The new pimples are small, come up quickly, and go away within 1–2 weeks.
• They appear mostly in areas where you normally get acne (like the T-zone, cheeks, or chin).
• Your skin also feels smoother or brighter underneath.

It may be a bad reaction if:

• The breakouts are painful, red, or spreading to new areas where you don’t usually get acne.
• You have burning, itching, or excessive peeling.
• The irritation is worsening day by day.

What you can do:

• Continue using Glyco 6 only at night and reduce the frequency to every other night for now.
• Use a gentle cleanser and a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturiser.
• Avoid scrubs or harsh acne creams during this period.
• Always use sunscreen during the day.

In short, a mild increase in pimples at first is quite common and often part of the purging phase, which usually settles within 2–4 weeks. But if breakouts are painful or worsening, stop and consult your dermatologist, as it might mean your skin is reacting rather than adjusting.

Wishing you good health.

Dear Reader,

What you’re noticing is redness and slight peeling around your nose and chin, which can happen when starting Glyco 6 cream, and it’s often a sign that the glycolic acid is exfoliating your skin. However, it’s important to distinguish between normal exfoliation and irritation so you can avoid damaging your skin barrier.

It’s usually normal exfoliation if:

• The redness is mild and temporary (goes away in a day or two).
• There’s slight flaking or peeling, but no burning or pain.
• Your skin just feels a bit tight or dry.

This happens because glycolic acid removes dead skin cells, revealing newer, fresher skin underneath, which can cause mild peeling at first.

It may cause irritation if:

• The redness is bright or patchy and lasts more than 2–3 days.
• You feel burning, stinging, or soreness.
• The peeling is excessive, or the skin becomes very sensitive to touch.

If it feels more like irritation, it means your skin barrier is reacting, so pause the cream for a few days.

What to do:

• Apply moisturiser immediately after using Glyco 6 (wait 10–15 minutes before applying).
• Use it every alternate night instead of daily.
• Avoid scrubs, retinoids, or vitamin C serums during this time.
• Always use sunscreen during the day.

In short, mild redness and peeling are normal signs of exfoliation, but if it becomes uncomfortable or persistent, take a break and let your skin recover before restarting.

Wishing you good health.

Dear Reader,

That’s a very common question, and the answer is that Glyco 6 cream doesn’t truly “whiten” the skin, but it can make your skin look brighter, smoother, and more even-toned over time.

Here’s why: Glyco 6 contains 6% glycolic acid, which is an AHA (alpha hydroxy acid). Its main job is to exfoliate the outer layer of dead skin cells and promote the growth of new, healthy cells underneath. This process helps:

• Fade dark spots, acne marks, and pigmentation,
• Smooth out rough or dull skin, and
• Give the skin a fresher, radiant look.

Because of this exfoliating and renewing effect, some people feel their skin becomes “fairer.” However, that’s not because it changes your natural skin colour; it simply removes dullness and uneven tone, revealing your original, clearer complexion.

Key Points:

• Glyco 6 brightens, not bleaches.
• It’s mainly used for acne, rough texture, tanning, and mild pigmentation.
• With regular use, you may notice a healthy glow and smoother texture, but it won’t alter your natural skin shade.
• Always use sunscreen in the daytime, as glycolic acid makes skin sun-sensitive and can cause darkening if not protected.

So, while Glyco 6 doesn’t truly whiten the skin, it can make it look more radiant, clean, and even-toned, which often gives the appearance of a lighter complexion.

Wishing you good health.

Dear Reader,

That’s a very good question, and it’s important not to take Zerodol SP if you have already taken Paracetamol for fever. 

Here’s why: Zerodol-SP already contains Paracetamol as one of its main ingredients (the other two are Aceclofenac and Serratiopeptidase). So, taking an additional  Zerodol SP tablet on top of  Paracetamol means you’d be doubling the Paracetamol dose, which can strain your liver. Self-medication with Zerodol SP during fever is not advised. You should consult a doctor. 

In short, Zerodol-SP and Paracetamol should not be taken together without medical supervision, because both contain the same active ingredient that can add up and harm your liver. Stay well and wishing you good health.

Dear Reader,

Yes, what you’re experiencing is quite common. Zerodol-SP can cause heartburn, acidity, or mild nausea, especially if taken on an empty stomach.

This happens because Zerodol-SP contains Aceclofenac and Paracetamol, which are painkillers that may irritate the stomach lining or increase acid production. Serratiopeptidase (the third ingredient) helps reduce swelling but can also slightly disturb digestion in some people.

Why does it happen?

• Taking the tablet without food or on an empty stomach
• Having a sensitive stomach or a history of acidity/gastritis
• Drinking coffee, spicy foods, or alcohol around the same time
• Taking other painkillers or anti-inflammatory drugs

What you can do:

• Always take Zerodol-SP after meals with a full glass of water.
• Avoid lying down immediately after taking it.
• Eat light, non-spicy meals when using this medicine.
• If your doctor agrees, you can take it with an antacid or acid reducer (like pantoprazole or omeprazole) to protect your stomach.
• Do not use it for long durations without medical advice.

If your heartburn or nausea keeps returning, or if you notice stomach pain, vomiting, or black stools, stop the medicine and consult your doctor.

So yes, mild heartburn or nausea can happen, talk to your doctor and they will help you manage it better. Wishing you a comfortable and quick recovery.
