Clinical Overview

Glycolic Acid (6%, 12% cream or face wash) is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugarcane. It weakens the cohesion of corneocytes in the lower stratum corneum, promoting gentle chemical exfoliation, stimulating dermal collagen synthesis, and accelerating cell turnover. Indicated for mild-to-moderate acne, photoaging, rough texture, post-acne hyperpigmentation, and keratosis pilaris.
