Introduction About GLYCO 12% CREAM
Glyco 12 Cream is a skin cream which is used for the management of skin dryness, acne, and hyperpigmentation. It contains Glycolic Acid as an active ingredient which is an alpha-hydroxy acid that exfoliates the skin and makes it brighter.
Glycolic acid helps in managing hyperpigmentation by suppressing the formation of melanin (skin pigment) by inhibiting tyrosinase activity. It also exfoliates the skin by enhancing the desquamation of the upper skin layer.
