Hello doctor,can you please let me know the usage of glycolic acid 6-12%cream?can it be used on lifelong?

Glycolic acid 6-12% cream is used to treat various skin concerns like acne, fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and dull skin tone; it should be used under dermatological guidance, starting with lower concentrations (6%) and gradually increasing as your skin becomes more tolerant; while it can be used long-term, it's essential to follow a consistent skincare routine, use sunscreen daily, and have regular follow-ups with your dermatologist to monitor skin health and adjust the treatment plan as needed, with some studies suggesting that long-term use (over 6-12 months) can lead to sustained improvements in skin texture and appearance.
