Glytone: A respected reputation

Since it was founded over 65 years ago, Glytone has built an impressive skin care empire thanks to the company’s rigorous research and pharmaceutical expertise. Glytone is best known for its powerful glycolic acid treatments. In fact, Glytone’s formulas deliver more glycolic acid for more effective results. In addition, Glytone features other high-performance lines that embrace expert blends of active ingredients to treat acne and restore healthy, younger-looking skin.

Inside Glytone’s acne-fighting ingredients

To successfully clear up unwanted acne, it’s important to use formulas that treat the triggers. Glytone features proven ingredients that address acne-causing oil and bacteria while promoting healthy skin function. In Glytone’s skin-clearing formulas, you’ll find the following acne-fighting ingredients:

• Salicylic acid. This beta hydroxy acid penetrates the pores to exfoliate dead skin cells, and has antiseptic properties.

• Benzoyl peroxide. Used to treat mild to moderate acne, benzoyl peroxide removes excess oil from the skin and kills the blemish-causing bacteria known as Propionibacterium acnes or p. acnes.

• Glycolic acid. Creating smoother and clearer skin, this alpha hydroxy acid sloughs off surface layers of skin, and reveals newer, healthier cells.

Product picks for a clear complexion

• Cleanse. When you have acne, it’s important to use a cleanser that clears away bacteria and excess oil. With 4.7 percent glycolic acid, Glytone Exfoliating Gel Wash gently rinses away pore-clogging impurities while protecting the skin’s natural moisture barrier.

• Correct. After cleansing, apply Glytone Acne Gel, which is formulated with 10 percent benzoyl peroxide to target both oil and bacteria to restore clear, healthy skin.

• Tone. Use a gentle toner to prevent excess oil from accumulating on the skin’s surface and causing acne. With 2 percent salicylic acid, Glytone Acne Cleansing Toner infiltrates pores to clear away oil and exfoliate the skin.

Try these facial formulas separately, or purchase them together in the Glytone Acne Treatment Kit for an easy three-step acne-fighting routine.

Product picks for a clear body

• Cleanse. All-over exfoliation is an important step to reduce acne on the body. Featuring glycolic acid, Glytone Exfoliating Body Wash is a go-to formula that gently sloughs off dead skin. It’s also effective for treating the common condition keratosis pilaris.

• Correct. Target tough-to-treat blemishes on the back with Glytone Back Acne Spray, which contains 2 percent salicylic acid. Its easy-to-use pump makes application simple and convenient.

Inside Glytone’s age-fighting ingredients

Using advanced scientific research, Glytone develops formulas that address both the natural causes of aging as well as the external triggers — including the sun, smoke and air pollution. Glytone’s treatments effectively reduce discoloration and wrinkles and boost elasticity using potent blends of the following ingredients:

• Hyaluronic acid. Naturally found in the skin, hyaluronic acid helps maintain elasticity, suppleness and hydration. But the natural aging process reduces the amounts of this skin-firming compound, contributing to thinner, drier and looser skin. In skin care, hyaluronic acid helps skin effectively retain moisture and appear more supple.

• Glycolic acid. In addition to treating acne, the exfoliating properties of glycolic acid are also effective in reducing the signs of aging. Glycolic acid promotes new cell growth for a brighter, healthier and smoother complexion.

• Hydrolyzed collagen. Collagen is skin’s fountain of youth, helping it maintain structure, suppleness and softness. Over time, collagen breaks down, and skin becomes looser and more wrinkled. Many Glytone products feature a special form of collagen called hydrolyzed collagen, which consists of tiny molecules that are more effectively absorbed by the skin to reduce the signs of aging.

• Hydroquinone. This chemical lightener is used in many skin care products to lighten discoloration, age spots, freckles and melasma. Hydroquinone works by suppressing the formation of melanin, the pigment that causes skin to darken.

Product picks for healthy, younger-looking skin

Whether you’re 30 or 50, Glytone has the treatments you need to build a personalized arsenal of age-fighting formulas.

• Hyperpigmentation. Infused with hydroquinone, kojic acid and glycolic acid, Glytone Fading Lotion lightens, brightens and exfoliates discolored skin. The result is a radiant and even skin tone.

• Lines and wrinkles. Glytone offers three levels of glycolic acid treatment lotions to reduce lines and wrinkles. If you’re new to glycolic acid or have dry or sensitive skin, first use Glytone Facial Cream Step 1. This lotion contains 10 percent glycolic acid for gentler action. To increase the concentration of glycolic acid, "step-up" to Glytone Facial Lotion Step 2 — with 15 percent glycolic acid — followed by Glytone Facial Cream Step 3, a 20 percent formula.

• Cellulite. Glytone Lipo-Lift Massage Gel can help your skin achieve a smoother look. This cellulite-reducing gel includes salicylic acid to stimulate new cellular growth and caffeine to smooth out the skin.

• Puffiness. Over time, the eyes become more prone to appearing puffy, dark and tired. Sidestep this sleepy look with Glytone Anti-Aging Eye Cream. This multitasking eye cream shields skin from environmental damage while containing a potent blend of caffeine, glycolic acid and licorice to tighten and brighten.

Also, don’t forget to prevent future aging in your skin care routine. Boasting powerful antioxidants that shield skin from the elements, Glytone Vitaceutical Facial Serum helps protect your complexion. Plus, it continually releases antioxidants thanks to a patented innovative ingredient.
