Glycolic Cream® 5%

Smooth. Renew. Brighten.

Reveal fresher, smoother, younger-looking skin with Dermatech’s signature Glycolic Cream. Formulated with a gentle yet effective 5% Glycolic Acid, this powerhouse AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) works by loosening dead skin cells, stimulating cell renewal, and improving your skin’s texture and tone — all while tackling pigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Glycolic Acid is naturally derived from sugar cane and is the smallest molecule in the AHA family, which means it penetrates deeply to encourage healthier, younger-looking skin. Over time, you’ll notice pores refining, dark spots fading, and a radiant glow replacing dullness.

Created by Dr. Ian Little, this hypoallergenic and fragrance-free cream is designed for home use as a safe, gradual treatment to support skin health and rejuvenation.

Hero Active Ingredient

• 5% Glycolic Acid – Gently exfoliates, smooths texture, reduces pigmentation, and stimulates skin renewal

How To Use

• Start by cleansing your skin thoroughly and pat dry.
• At night, apply a pea-sized amount evenly to your face — avoid the eye area.
• Allow the cream to absorb fully before applying your usual night cream if needed.
• Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day — glycolic acid can increase sun sensitivity.
• Start slowly to build tolerance: use 2-3 times per week in the first 1-2 weeks, then gradually increase to nightly use as tolerated.
• If irritation occurs, reduce frequency or pause use until skin calms.

Important
Dermatech Glycolic Cream comes in three strengths — 5%, 10%, and 15%. Always start with the 5% concentration first to allow your skin to adjust before moving up to stronger formulas. This ensures safe, effective results without over-irritation.

Pro Tip
Pair with a gentle moisturiser and our Dermablock SPF during the day for hydrated, protected skin while you renew and refresh overnight.
