Glyco A 12% Cream is used to treat skin concerns such as acne (pimples), acne scars, melasma, dry skin, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, and photoaging (premature skin ageing due to sun exposure). It contains Glycolic Acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that works by increasing the turnover of skin cells and promoting gentle exfoliation. This process helps remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and improve overall skin texture and tone. By keeping pores clear, it can reduce the formation of comedones (clogged pores) and help manage acne. Common side effects may include dryness, redness, mild burning or stinging, itching, irritation, or peeling.
My skin is very oily, and I am using Clindac A and Glyco A 12% at night. Is there any other cream, gel, or face wash that can help improve my skin tone and make my face look brighter?

Oily skin often looks dull, uneven, and is more likely to break out because of extra oil, clogged pores, sun, sweating, or harsh products. Clindac-A and Glyco-A 12% are often used for acne and acne marks, but using too many strong creams at once can make oily skin redder or cause peeling. Using a gentle oil-control face wash, a light gel moisturiser, and sunscreen every day can help improve your skin?s tone and brightness in a safer way. Serums with niacinamide or face washes with salicylic acid may also slowly reduce oiliness, tanning, and acne marks for some people. Getting enough sleep, drinking plenty of water, eating less oily junk food, and not touching pimples can also help your skin look healthier. Since Glyco-A can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, it?s important to use sunscreen during the day to avoid more tanning and marks. Try not to use harsh scrubs, fairness creams, or steroid creams unless a doctor tells you to, as these can harm your skin barrier. If your skin gets very irritated, your acne gets worse, or marks keep getting darker even with regular care, see a doctor for advice.
