Exfoliate, Hydrate, and Brighten for Balanced Radiance. Pharmagel Glyco-8 is a powerhouse AHA moisturizer designed to strike the perfect balance between gentle exfoliation and essential hydration. Ideal for clients with combination skin—those dealing with oily T-zones and dry cheeks—this facial moisturizer helps smooth texture, refine tone, and boost skin radiance with consistent use. Formulated with Glycolic Acid derived from sugar cane, it gently dissolves dead skin cells while infusing the skin with Vitamins C and E and soothing botanical extracts like Green Tea and Nettle Leaf.
Whether you're prepping clients for a professional facial or helping them build an effective daily regimen, this multitasking formula delivers visible improvement in skin clarity, elasticity, and smoothness—all without irritation.
Refines Texture and Boosts Radiance with AHA
At the heart of Glyco-8 is Glycolic Acid, a natural alpha hydroxy acid that’s prized for its ability to exfoliate without harshness. It gently loosens and sloughs off dull surface cells, revealing fresher, brighter skin beneath. This helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, uneven tone, and textural irregularities over time, giving the skin a smoother, more youthful appearance.
The exfoliating power of Glycolic Acid also enhances the absorption and efficacy of the moisturizer’s other key ingredients, allowing antioxidants and hydrators to penetrate more effectively and deliver deeper benefits.
Vitamin C and E Work Together to Defend and Brighten
To amplify the anti-aging and brightening effects, Pharmagel Glyco-8 includes a stabilized form of Vitamin C—Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate. This ingredient helps reduce the look of pigmentation and supports collagen synthesis, leading to visibly firmer and more even skin. Vitamin E complements Vitamin C by providing antioxidant protection and promoting a smoother, more resilient complexion.
These essential nutrients are especially beneficial for clients concerned about dullness, discoloration, or the early signs of aging. Used consistently, they help restore a natural glow while fortifying the skin against daily environmental stressors like pollution and UV exposure.
Botanical Support for Calmer, More Balanced Skin
Pharmagel carefully selected botanicals to support the needs of sensitive or reactive skin types. Green Tea Extract offers calming, antioxidant-rich benefits that help soothe redness and reduce the visible effects of stress. Nettle Leaf, Orange, Lemon, and Apple Extracts contribute a dose of natural fruit acids and plant-based nutrients that enhance brightness and support healthy skin function.
The result is a moisturizer that not only improves skin texture and tone, but also leaves the skin feeling refreshed and balanced—never stripped or irritated.
