ISDIN Glicoisdin 25 Intense Glycolic Exfoliant Gel 1.76 oz — 9.5% AHA, lightweight non-greasy resurfacing

ISDIN Isdinceutics Glicoisdin 25 Intense is a glycolic acid gel exfoliant formulated to resurface skin texture and support visible renewal for combination, oily, and acne-prone skin.

This lightweight gel combines 9.5% free glycolic acid with soothing aloe vera to encourage cellular turnover while helping skin appear smoother and more even. Developed in Spain and dermatologically tested, the formulation is designed to offer chemical exfoliation without a heavy cream base, making it suitable for oilier skin types or anyone seeking a non-greasy resurfacing treatment. Use as directed to integrate into a nighttime routine or gradually introduce for tolerance.

How will this gel change my skin texture?

Glycolic acid works as an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that loosens the bonds between dead skin cells so they shed more readily. With regular use, the surface looks smoother and feels softer due to reduced buildup and improved cell turnover.

• 9.5% free glycolic acid provides moderate chemical exfoliation.
• Gel format minimizes heavy residue on oily or combination skin.
• Aloe vera helps calm the skin during the exfoliation process.

Can it help reduce dark spots and uneven tone?

By accelerating surface renewal, this product can help fade superficial discoloration over time as pigmented cells are sloughed away and replaced. Consistent use paired with sun protection improves visible results and helps maintain an even-looking complexion.

• Targets uneven tone through regular cell turnover.
• Best results appear with ongoing application and daily SPF.
• Not a bleaching agent—works gradually through exfoliation.

How should I introduce it into my skincare routine?

Start slowly to assess tolerance: apply a thin layer once every few nights, then increase frequency as your skin adapts. Use in the evening, avoid mixing with other strong actives on the same night, and always follow with sun protection the next day.

• Begin with 1–2 nights per week, then increase as tolerated.
• Avoid combining with retinoids or other strong acids at first.
• Apply daily broad‑spectrum SPF during daytime use.

What sensory experience and packaging can I expect?

The product arrives as a clear, fast-absorbing gel that leaves minimal tackiness and no heavy film, which makes it comfortable for oily and combination skin on application. It is presented in a compact 1.76 oz tube that’s easy to dispense a small amount at a time.

• Clear gel texture absorbs quickly with light finish.
• Compact tube for controlled dispensing and travel-friendly size.
• Dermatologically tested and formulated in Spain.

Who is this for: ISDIN Isdinceutics Glicoisdin 25 Intense is aimed at adults with combination, oily, or acne-prone skin who want a non-greasy exfoliant to refine texture and help reduce the appearance of superficial pigmentation. If you have very sensitive or barrier‑compromised skin, introduce the product slowly or consult a skin professional before starting. For best outcomes, pair with moisturizers suited to your skin type and daily sun protection.
