Does Glyco-6 whiten skin?

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.
