Ichthyosis and ichthyosis vulgaris leave skin dry, scaly and thickened, the pattern often called fish scale skin, and medically hyperkeratosis. G16 works on the build-up of dead skin itself rather than sitting on top of it.
Ichthyosis Treatment
for Scaly, Thickened Skin
G16 does not mask ichthyosis like other products, it works at the root cause. The glycolic acid (hydroxyacetic acid) and lactic acid lift away the built-up scale and deeply hydrate, softening thickened, scaly skin over the 28-day course. Most people see softer, smoother skin within the first two weeks of daily use.
Ichthyosis and Ichthyosis Vulgaris
Causes and Symptoms
What is ichthyosis ?
Ichthyosis is a common skin condition that affects about 1 in 250 people worldwide. Most cases are inherited, but it can also appear later in life due to health conditions or medications. The skin often becomes dry, flaky and scaly, sometimes resembling fish scales. In severe cases, cracks may form that cause pain, infections or even affect movement, eyesight or hearing. Many people that have ichthyosis have not been diagnosed and just think it is severe dry skin or Xerosis. There are several types of ichthyosis with the most common including; Ichthyosis vulgaris, lamellar ichthyosis and X-linked ichthyosis., all of which can be treated successfully with G16 Skin Repair.
Symptoms
Dry, rough, flaky skin that may thicken or scale
Persistent itchiness and a tight feeling in the skin
Skin feels tight and uncomfortable after washing.
Cracks that can bleed or get infected

How G16 Treats Ichthyosis, Fish Scale Skin
and Hyperkeratosis
Skin conditions like dryness, flakiness or scaling can leave your skin feeling uncomfortable and looking uneven. G16 Skin Repair is designed to do more than just moisturize, it gently removes dead skin cells while deeply hydrating the fresh skin underneath. The result is smoother, softer skin that feels comfortable and renewed over the 28-day course, with most people seeing a difference in the first two weeks.
Deep Hydration
G16 Skin Repair is designed to target stubborn skin conditions by giving the skin deep, lasting hydration and restoring its natural moisture barrier. It helps relieve dryness, flakiness and irritation, while also easing tight, uncomfortable skin. With daily use, G16 supports healthy skin renewal, making the skin feel softer, smoother and more resilient over time.
Body and face lotion
Visible relief for ichthyosis within the first two weeks. Gentle, fast-acting care that restores your skinโs natural balance.
Skin balance
The unique formula works in two ways: it gently removes dead skin cells through mild exfoliation and then nourishes the fresh, healthy skin underneath with powerful moisturizers. Every ingredient is carefully selected to strengthen the skin barrier, lock in hydration and calm irritation without leaving greasiness or redness. Unlike harsh treatments, G16 is safe for sensitive skin and promotes natural cell turnover, so skin is visibly healthier, brighter and more comfortable.

Smart Skin Care Tips
You Can Trust
With a few simple habits and the right treatment, you can protect your skin, keep it hydrated and feel more confident in your own skin.
Drag, swipe or use the arrows
Ten to twenty minutes in comfortably warm water softens built-up scale. Lifting it dry tears the skin underneath.
Long, hot showers might feel relaxing, but they strip away the oils your skin uses to hold water in.
A leaky barrier loses water to dry air, which is why ichthyosis is so much better near the sea. A humidifier imports some of that effect.
Ordinary soap is alkaline and strips the skin's acid mantle. Mild, fragrance-free washes are kinder and work just as well.
Deep splits can bleed and let infection in. Keep acids off broken skin and let it heal before going back to the routine.
Rubbing with a towel irritates skin that is already fragile. Pat until barely damp and let it finish drying.
Thick scale blocks sweat glands, so overheating happens faster than it should. Take care in hot weather and during exercise.
Skin renews itself over roughly four weeks, so judge a new routine over about six. A weekend tells you nothing.
Scale returns within weeks of stopping. Most people reduce how often they apply once it has cleared, rather than stopping outright.
Leave G16 on as long as you can, ideally around ten hours, before layering anything else over it.
