ISDIN Glycolic Acid Facial Cream Glicoisdin 8 Soft 1.76 oz — 3.2% AHA, Hydrating & Barrier-Boosting

This renewing cream combines chemical exfoliation with hydrating and barrier-supporting ingredients to help reveal smoother-looking skin. The formula blends 3.2% free glycolic acid for gentle exfoliation with ceramides, borage oil, and vitamin E to support elasticity and hydration. Developed in Spain and dermatologically tested, the product aims to improve uneven texture and soften the appearance of fine lines without overly drying the skin.

How does this cream gently exfoliate without irritation?

Glycolic acid at 3.2% works as a chemical exfoliant to loosen bonds between dead skin cells so skin turnover is more effective. The concentration is moderate—stronger than everyday acid toners but formulated alongside soothing and barrier-support ingredients to reduce irritation risk for most users.

• 3.2% free glycolic acid for controlled exfoliation.
• Ceramides to reinforce the skin barrier and minimize moisture loss.
• Borage oil to nourish and support skin elasticity while calming.
• Vitamin E as an antioxidant to help protect against environmental stressors.

When should I use Glicoisdin 8 Soft in my skincare routine?

Use this cream after cleansing and before heavier creams or sunscreen. For those new to acids, begin with a few nights per week and increase frequency as tolerated; always follow with daytime sunscreen to protect newly exposed skin layers.

• Apply to cleansed, dry skin in the evening for best exfoliation results.
• Layer lighter serums first, then apply this cream and follow with moisturizer if needed.
• Use SPF during the day—alpha hydroxy acids can increase sun sensitivity.
• Reduce frequency if you experience redness or irritation.

What skin concerns can this formula address?

Glicoisdin 8 Soft targets uneven texture, rough patches, and the visible signs of early fine lines by encouraging gentle cell turnover. Its blend of hydrating and barrier-supporting ingredients helps the skin remain supple while renewing the surface for a smoother look.

• Refines rough or flaky skin texture with chemical exfoliation.
• Smooths the look of fine lines through improved cell turnover.
• Supports moisture and elasticity with borage oil and ceramides.
• Dermatologically tested formulation developed in Spain.

How safe is it for sensitive or combination skin types?

The product is formulated to be a softer option compared with higher-strength glycolic treatments, but any acid can cause sensitivity in reactive skin. Patch testing and gradual introduction are recommended to assess tolerance before regular use across the face.

• Lower-to-moderate glycolic concentration reduces risk compared with stronger peels.
• Contains barrier-supporting ceramides to help minimize irritation potential.
• Includes nourishing borage oil to assist comfort for drier areas.
• Dermatologically tested, though individual reactions may vary—patch test first.

Who is this for: ISDIN Isdinceutics Glicoisdin 8 Soft is suited for adults seeking a daily-to-regular chemical exfoliant that smooths texture and supports hydration. It works well for people with uneven skin tone, early fine lines, or rough patches who prefer a gentler glycolic option combined with moisturizing and barrier-care ingredients. Those with very reactive skin or on prescription retinoids should consult a dermatologist before adding an acid-based cream to their routine.
