What is Glyco-12?

Glyco-12 is a high-strength dermatologist-recommended topical cream by Micro Labs containing 12% Glycolic Acid — a powerful Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA). It delivers deep exfoliation, accelerated cell renewal, and visible improvements in acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma, fine lines, and photo-damaged skin. Recommended for individuals with experience using AHA products or as directed by a dermatologist.

Key Benefits:

•        Deep exfoliation — removes dead skin cells and promotes rapid cell renewal

•        Effectively treats acne and significantly reduces acne scars

•        Targets stubborn dark spots, melasma, and hyperpigmentation

•        Reduces wrinkles, fine lines & signs of photo-ageing

•        Stimulates collagen synthesis for firmer, more youthful skin

•        Unclogs pores and prevents future breakouts

•        Releases oxygen on skin — works as a powerful antibacterial agent against acne bacteria

•        Improves skin texture — smoother, cleaner, more even skin tone

•        Antioxidant properties protect skin from environmental damage

•        Acts as a humectant — improves moisture retention

•        Non-comedogenic — does not block pores

•        Suitable for oily, acne-prone, and pigmented skin

Who Should Use It:

•        Individuals with experience using AHA / glycolic acid products

•        Those with stubborn acne scars, deep hyperpigmentation, or melasma

•        People with photo-damaged or sun-damaged skin

•        Step 2: Apply every other day for the first 2 weeks (skin adjustment period)

•        Step 3: Apply a thin, even layer to affected areas preferably at night

•        Step 4: Do not rinse off — let it absorb fully into skin
