Is it normal to experience a little acne in the initial days of applying glyceric acid based creams like glyco 6 (using it for skin discoloration on face)

Question

Dear lybrate-user as you are at the peek of your teenage, so are your sebaceous glands. It is ok to have acne. And it is not because of your glyco-6. Rather glycolic acid may be used as an adjuvant in acne treatment. Do get your acne treated at the earliest as it may increase in severity and lead to ghastly scars on your face. Ps: cut down on your whey protein for a while if you are on it.

To prevent pimples, eat fresh fruits, green vegetables, drinking plenty of water should be an essential part of your routine and intake of oily fried foods, an excess of sugar-salt should be avoided.
Don't peal pimples, as they tend to leave scars.
Stop using soap on face. Instead take a spoon of milk, add a pinch of turmeric (haldi). Mix n apply on face with the help of cotton. Leave for a few minutes then wash off. Apply moisturizer like coconut oil.
For swollen pimples, gently apply ice for a minute or so. Just don't keep the ice on so long that it irritates your skin.
Tea tree oil can kill bacteria. Some people use it to treat minor skin irritations, including acne. There isn't much research on how effective it is, but tea tree oil is safe to put directly on your skin in a diluted form. Try it on a small area first to make sure you don't have an allergic reaction.
Simple Honey Mask	
Before applying this mask, rinse your face with warm water to open up pores. Then apply honey and leave it on the skin for 30 minutes. Rinse the honey off with warm water; then rinse again with cold water to close the pores.
Yeast and Yogurt Mask for Oily Skin
Oily skin is prone to acne, and this home remedy can reduce excess oil and help clear acne. To make the mask, combine 1 teaspoon of brewer's yeast with a little plain yogurt to create a thin mixture. Apply it thoroughly to all the oily areas and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water; then use cold water to close the pores.
For permanent cure you need constitutional medicines, for that I need detailed case history.
