Works for
Anti-agingGlycolic acidWorks well
“Brighten dull and dehydrated skin with the GlyDerm Refreshing Mineral Spray; a multi-tasking treatment to combat discoloration, instantly hydrate and minimize the look of premature signs of ageing.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains glycolic acid.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
ExfoliationGlycolic acidWorks well
“2% concentration of Glycolic Acid, which works to exfoliate the surface layer of skin and stimulate cell renewal for a refined and revitalized surface layer.”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: glycolic acid.
MoisturizingPropylene glycolNot delivered

Evens skin toneSide benefit · Glycolic acidWorks well
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: glycolic acid
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
