• Helps reduce acne, pimples, and breakouts
• Supports exfoliation of dead skin cells for smoother skin
• Helps improve skin texture, clarity, and radiance
• Aids in reducing dark spots, blemishes, and uneven skin tone

Glyco 6 cream is an over-the-counter cream. It is made of glycolic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that has skin-renewing and exfoliating effects. The cream is used for acne, skin renewal, and skin pigmentation.

Glyco 6 cream is commonly recommended for people with acne, blackheads and whiteheads, dull skin, minor hyperpigmentation, and early signs of aging. Over time, regular use may help improve skin clarity.

When applied, it gently removes dead skin cells from the surface, helping unclog pores and reduce blackheads and whiteheads. The cream also promotes the growth of healthier skin cells, leading to fewer breakouts, smoother texture, and improved tone. Over time, it improves skin renewal, which may help fade the appearance of acne marks and hyperpigmentation.

It is for external use only. Apply a thin layer on the affected area as prescribed by your doctor. Avoid contact of the cream with the eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth, and any other highly sensitive areas. Wash thoroughly with water if accidental contact occurs with these areas.

Do not use the cream if you have a known allergy to any of its ingredients. It is advisable not to use the product on broken, sunburnt, or already irritated skin. If you see severe irritation, constant redness, or signs of an allergic reaction, talk to your doctor. The dose and duration should be followed as suggested by the doctor.
