Im considering using a 12gm glycolic acid cream for skin whitening. I have oily, brown skin, and Im wondering if its safe for me. Are there any potential side effects, and can I use it for a long time?

Using glycolic acid cream for skin whitening on brown, oily skin can be effective. However, it is important to start with a lower concentration to avoid irritation. You can try using Glyco-A 12% cream for skin whitening. Possible side effects may include redness, irritation, and increased sensitivity to the sun. It is recommended to use sunscreen during the day when using glycolic acid cream. You can use glycolic acid cream for a long time as long as you follow the instructions and do not experience any severe side effects."
