Key Benefits

Glyco 12 Cream contains ‘Glycolic acid, an exfoliative agent used to treat skin problems like acne (pimples), acne scars, melasma, hyperpigmentation, photoaging, and seborrhea. It is an organic compound derived from sugarcane with an antibacterial, antioxidant,  keratolytic (remove warts, calluses), comedolytic (inhibit the formation of blemishes), and anti-inflammatory activity. Glyco 12 Cream increases the turnover rate of epithelial cells (cells that line the surface of the skin), eventually helps in peeling the skin and treats comedones (skin-coloured, small bumps due to acne).  Glyco 12 Cream kills bacteria, reduces inflammation, and unplugs blocked pores. It decomposes to release oxygen when applied to the skin. This oxygen acts as a bactericidal agent and kills Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria that causes acne.
