Micro Glyco-12 Glycolic Acid Cream 12% w/w 30g
Micro Glyco-12 Glycolic Acid Cream contains 12% Glycolic Acid, an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) known for its ability to exfoliate dead skin cells from the skin's surface. Regular use can help reveal fresher, smoother, and more radiant-looking skin.
The cream is commonly incorporated into evening skincare routines to improve the appearance of:
- Rough skin texture
- Dull-looking complexion
- Uneven skin tone
- Post-acne marks
- Dark spots
- Fine surface lines
- Congested pores
By encouraging gentle skin renewal, Glyco-12 helps improve overall skin texture while supporting a brighter and healthier-looking complexion.
Because Glycolic Acid increases skin sensitivity to sunlight, daily sunscreen use is strongly recommended during treatment.
