Ahanext cream, also known as glycolic acid cream 12 or Glyco 12 cream, is primarily used in treating and preventing hyperpigmentation. Its primary ingredient, glycolic acid, at a concentration of 12%, works by exfoliating the skin and aiding in the dissolution of dead skin cells. The cream has been found beneficial in managing certain skin conditions, such as melasma, acne, and wrinkles.

In addition to these, Ahanext cream also acts as a protector against photoaging. It might also help in the healing process of sun damage and dry skin. One of the key benefits of this cream is its ability to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, thus promoting younger-looking skin.

AHANEXT 12%W/W CERAM is used to treat skin problems like acne (pimples), acne scars, melasma, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and photoaging (premature ageing of the skin caused by repeated exposure to UV radiation).

Acne vulgaris (acne): It is a skin condition caused when the hair follicles are plugged with oil and dead skin cells. Whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, cysts, and nodules are all types of acne. It commonly occurs in teenagers, although all age groups are affected.

Hyperpigmentation: It is a skin condition in which patches of skin become darker in colour than the normal surrounding skin. This darkening of skin occurs when an excess of melanin (hormone), the brown pigment that produces normal skin colour, forms deposits in the skin.

Melasma: It is a common skin problem that causes dark, discoloured patches on your skin. It is also called the “mask of pregnancy,” when it occurs in pregnant women. It can occur due to hormonal changes during pregnancy or from sun exposure.
