RHEA GlicoDerm – exfoliating cream for rough and dull skin

RHEA GlicoDerm is an intensive exfoliating face cream designed for dull, rough, sallow, keratinized, or uneven skin. It helps to smooth the skin's surface, promote cell renewal, refine texture, and give the skin a brighter, clearer, and more even appearance.

The cream contains glycolic acid, one of the most effective AHA acids, which works well on the skin's surface due to its small molecular size. It helps remove dead skin cells, refine rough texture, support natural skin renewal, and brighten dull tones. The exfoliating effect is balanced by nourishing and soothing ingredients such as jojoba oil, cocoa butter, bisabolol, and vitamin E.

GlicoDerm is ideal for skin that appears thicker, less breathable, sallow, tired, or has an uneven texture. With regular use, it helps the skin appear smoother, softer, brighter, and more even.

Active Ingredients

Glycolic Acid
An AHA acid derived from sugar cane. It has a very small molecular size, allowing it to effectively work on the skin's surface. It helps to exfoliate, brighten, promote cell renewal, and refine uneven texture.

Cocoa Butter
A rich lipid ingredient that nourishes, softens, and helps restore comfort to dry or stressed skin. It supports the skin's protective function and balances the exfoliating action of glycolic acid.

Jojoba Oil
A sebum-like liquid wax that softens, moisturizes, and protects the skin without a heavy, greasy feel. It helps maintain skin comfort during exfoliating care.

Bisabolol
A soothing active ingredient derived from chamomile. It helps alleviate discomfort, promotes a calmer skin appearance, and is also suitable for skin more sensitive to active care.

Tocopheryl Acetate / Vitamin E
An antioxidant that helps protect the skin from oxidative stress, promoting its softness and comfort.

Suitable as an active evening care for skin needing exfoliation, brightening, and texture refinement.

Contraindications

Do not use if there is a known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.

Do not use on irritated, injured, sunburnt, or freshly treated skin.

For sensitive, reactive, or very dry skin, we recommend starting cautiously and performing a patch test first.

Do not combine on the same evening with other strong exfoliating acids, retinoids, or aggressive active care, unless recommended by a professional.

When using AHA acids, SPF protection is essential during the day, as the skin may be more sensitive to UV radiation.

Usage

Apply in the evening to perfectly cleansed face and neck. Gently massage until absorbed.
In the morning, we recommend following up with a moisturizing care product and always using quality SPF protection.

The cream can be combined with suitable RHEA B-Dose boosters, but not exceeding the manufacturer's recommended amount for individual cosmetic care. The official page recommends evening application and supplementing the routine with HydroEm moisturizing cream in the morning.

myIdealSkin Note

We recommend RHEA GlicoDerm for skin that appears dull, rough, sallow, or has an uneven texture. It is suitable as an active evening care for clients who want to refine, brighten, and promote a smoother skin appearance.

For sensitive skin, it is important to start slowly and monitor the skin's reaction. For best results, we recommend combining it with hydrating and barrier care and always using SPF during the day.

myIdealSkin Recommendation
We recommend RHEA GlicoDerm for skin that appears sallow, tired, has a rough texture, a clogged appearance, or uneven tone. Due to the glycolic acid content, I would include it in the evening, ideally gradually – initially 2–3 times a week depending on skin tolerance. During the day, it is necessary to use SPF 50, as exfoliated skin is more sensitive to UV radiation. For sensitive or problematic skin, we recommend use only after skin diagnosis and consultation with our experts.

Warning
Cosmetic product for external use only. Contains glycolic acid, so it may cause stinging, redness, or peeling in sensitive skin. Do not use simultaneously with other strong acids, retinoids, or peels without professional advice. Avoid the eye area and do not use on injured or irritated skin. Daily SPF protection is necessary during use.
