"Glytone cream is very thick, which I am sure is one reason that it penetrates so well and for so long. My dermatologist recommended it for uneven skin tone and sun damage on my arms and, although it helped with this somewhat, the main benefit continues to be remarkably softer and better hydrated skin. I am also using now on my legs and chest. Be warned though, that after shaving, this will sting for a few minutes! Glytone is very strong and for sensitive skin may be best used every other day but I find my skin needs it every day for maximum benefit."
