AHANEXT 12%W/W CERAM 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.

About AHANEXT 12%W/W CERAM

AHANEXT 12%W/W CERAM is used to treat skin problems such as acne (pimples), acne scars, melasma, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, and photoaging (premature skin ageing caused by repeated UV exposure). It is often used to improve skin texture and tone.

AHANEXT 12%W/W CERAM contains Glycolic Acid, which is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). It works by increasing the turnover rate of skin cells, promoting gentle exfoliation (peeling of the outer layer), helping to clear blocked pores (comedones), and improving overall skin appearance. This helps reduce acne breakouts and fade pigmentation marks over time.

AHANEXT 12%W/W CERAM is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth, and nose. If accidental contact occurs, rinse the affected area thoroughly with water. Always follow your doctor’s or pharmacist’s instructions on how much and how often to apply AHANEXT 12%W/W CERAM. Common side effects of AHANEXT 12%W/W CERAM may include dry skin, redness (erythema), mild burning or stinging sensation, itching, irritation, and rash. These effects are usually temporary and improve as your skin adjusts to the treatment. However, stop using it and consult your doctor if you experience severe irritation, persistent redness, or an allergic reaction.

AHANEXT 12%W/W CERAM can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Always apply sunscreen during the day and wear protective clothing when outdoors. Avoid using other potentially irritating products on treated areas (such as alcohol-based astringents, strong soaps, hair removal creams, or products with fragrances or spices) unless advised by your doctor.

Description

Ahanext cream, also known as glycolic acid cream 12 or Glyco 12 cream, is primarily used in treating and preventing hyperpigmentation. Its primary ingredient, glycolic acid, at a concentration of 12%, works by exfoliating the skin and aiding in the dissolution of dead skin cells. The cream has been found beneficial in managing certain skin conditions, such as melasma, acne, and wrinkles.

In addition to these, Ahanext cream also acts as a protector against photoaging. It might also help in the healing process of sun damage and dry skin. One of the key benefits of this cream is its ability to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, thus promoting younger-looking skin.

Medicinal Benefits

AHANEXT 12%W/W CERAM contains Glycolic acid, which is a powerful skincare ingredient with multiple proven benefits. It helps treat acne by unclogging pores, removing dead skin cells, controlling excess oil, and preventing new breakouts. By promoting skin cell turnover, it fades acne scars and improves overall skin texture. Glycolic acid also lightens hyperpigmentation, such as dark spots and melasma, for a more even skin tone. It stimulates collagen production, helping to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and other visible signs of ageing. Additionally, it improves sun-damaged (photoaged) skin by reducing pigmentation and improving its texture. With its keratolytic properties, it softens and removes thickened or rough skin, while its comedolytic action prevents the formation of blackheads and whiteheads. Glycolic acid also offers mild antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, supporting clearer, healthier skin.
