Composition:
GLYCOLIC ACID-6%W/W
Uses:
Treatment of Acne (pimples), Melasma, Hyperpigmentation, Wrinkles, and Photoaging (premature ageing of the skin caused by repeated exposure to UV radiation).
Medicinal Benefits:
GA-6 Cream contains ‘Glycolic acid, an exfoliative agent used to treat skin problems like acne (pimples), acne scars, melasma, hyperpigmentation, photoaging, and seborrhea. It is an organic compound derived from sugarcane with an antibacterial, antioxidant, keratolytic (removes warts and calluses), comedolytic (inhibits the formation of blemishes), and anti-inflammatory activity. GA-6 Cream increases the turnover rate of epithelial cells (cells that line the surface of the skin), eventually helps in peeling the skin and treats comedones (skin-coloured, small bumps due to acne). GA-6 Cream kills bacteria, reduces inflammation, and unplugs blocked pores. It decomposes to release oxygen when applied to the skin. This oxygen acts as a bactericidal agent and kills Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria that causes acne.
