glycolic acid

Question

Hi -- I have been using Glyderm's gentle cleanser and cream 12 for about 6 months and i still have a small discoloration spot on my face unchanged. do you rec a cream other than the glycolic acid 12? should i use it twice a day? thanks

Answer

If it is hyperpigmentation I recommend you use a bleaching or lightening cream such as La Roche Posay Mela-D or Exuviance Essential Skin Lightener Gel. Keep in mind that sunscreen is essential with these products. Best skin care wishes.
