Isispharma Glyco-A Intense Peeling 30ml

Overview

Cream, not liquid, is the format for IsisPharma's glycolic acid facial peel, a 30 ml jar product formulated specifically for dry skin and marketed across all skin tones.

Cream-format peels apply differently than liquid peel pads or masks, since a jar cream tends to sit on skin longer and can be layered more precisely over specific areas. Pairing glycolic acid with a dry-skin formulation suggests it is meant to exfoliate without the stripping effect a liquid or gel peel might have on already dry skin.

Who it's for

Suits someone with dry skin looking for a gentle, cream-based glycolic acid peel rather than a stronger liquid exfoliant. Less suited to oily or acne-prone skin, since the listing specifically targets dry skin.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Glycolic acid works by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells, and formulating it as a cream rather than a liquid slows how quickly it is absorbed, which generally makes it gentler on dry skin than a fast-penetrating liquid peel. The jar format also lets you control how much product and how large an area you treat at once.
