10% Glycolic Acid + Niacinamide Serum

10% Glycolic Acid + Niacinamide Serum by Creamy is formulated for normal, oily, combination skin. Creamy's 10% Glycolic Acid Serum is the Brazilian AHA treatment that established the brand as 'Brazil's answer to The Ordinary.' 10% glycolic acid provides genuine clinical-grade exfoliation — this is the concentration that dermatological studies use for texture improvement, PIH reduction, and acne management. Niacinamide adds brightening and sebum regulation alongside the AHA. Bisabolol (chamomile-derived) provides anti-inflammatory soothing to counteract glycolic irritation. Sweet almond oil prevents the over-drying that pure AHA formulas cause. Marine extracts (Sargassum, Hypnea) add hydrating polysaccharides. The cream-gel texture is unusual for an AHA — most are watery liquids. Creamy made it slightly emollient so it can double as a light night treatment. Use 2-3 times weekly, always with morning SPF. Creamy launched in 2020 and immediately gained a cult following for delivering clinical concentrations at DTC prices — this glycolic serum is why.
