Not sure which skincare products are right for your needs? This guide explains the most common skin concerns, what causes them, how to treat them, and which Glóavia products support visible improvement.
Dark Spots and Hyperpigmentation
This appears as brown patches, uneven tone, or marks that stay after breakouts. It’s usually caused by sun exposure, hormones, irritation, or injury. Ingredients that help include kojic acid, vitamin C, niacinamide, and gentle exfoliating acids. Recommended products include Targeted Dark Spot Care, Vitamin C Serum, Pigment Perfecting Serum, and AHA Peeling Concentrate.
Redness and Sensitivity
This appears as flushing, stinging after cleansing, or reactions to products. Common causes are barrier damage, harsh cleansers, and environmental triggers. Helpful ingredients include ceramides, prebiotics, sodium PCA, and calming oils. Recommended products include Calming Facial Oil, Bioactive Prebiotics Jelly Serum, Microbiome Face Mist, and Calming Eye Cream.
Dryness and Dehydration

Helpful ingredients include sodium PCA, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and nourishing oils. Recommended products include Double Hydration Boost Gel, Hydrating Toner, Moisturizing Day Cream, and Nourishing Facial Oil.
