My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Glicoisdin 25% Anti-Aging Facial Gel of the brand Isdin is primarily intended for skin showing signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, loss of radiance, and uneven texture. Its high concentration of glycolic acid makes it an expert treatment for those seeking powerful anti-aging action, but also for those who wish to improve skin texture, reduce pigmentation spots, or smooth imperfections. My opinion: the formula is definitely geared towards dermatological effectiveness and should be reserved for experienced users or those under medical supervision, particularly due to the product's powerful exfoliating properties.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three major active ingredients stand out in this formula. First, the’glycolic acid (25%), an AHA known for its keratolytic action: it promotes cell renewal, stimulates collagen synthesis, and improves skin texture. Next, the’aloe vera, with its soothing and moisturizing properties, counterbalances the potentially irritating effect of glycolic acid. Finally, the presence of’denatured alcohol optimizes the penetration of active ingredients, but may accentuate the feeling of dryness or irritation in sensitive skin. This synergy of active ingredients gives the product remarkable effectiveness in skin renewal, while requiring particular vigilance in terms of tolerance.

Tips and Application Ritual

I recommend applying this gel in the evening to thoroughly cleansed and dry skin, avoiding the eye and lip areas. It is essential to introduce this treatment gradually (once or twice a week, then increase depending on tolerance). It is incompatible with other powerful exfoliating active ingredients (retinoids, other AHAs/BHAs) to limit the risk of irritation. Combining it with moisturizing and repairing products is recommended. Strict sun protection is essential in the morning.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

Isdin's Glicoisdin 25% Anti-Aging Facial Gel stands out for its effectiveness in skin renewal and reducing the signs of aging. Its light gel texture makes it easy to apply, but the presence of alcohol and high concentration of glycolic acid can cause tingling or dryness, especially on sensitive skin. My verdict: an excellent expert skincare product, to be used with caution and as part of a suitable skincare routine.
