Glycolic Foaming Cleanser

« A Must Have! »

So I’m not going to lie, I stayed away from this brand, dam near frowned upon it because, the product packaging looks cheap, and the ingredients are packed with I’ll just say some not so clean ingredients. As a Master Esthetician while analyzing my clients skincare regimens, I kept hearing this brand being mentioned as some of my clients go to. Mainly their cleansers and toners, which yes I believe that the right or wrong cleanser/toner may or may not set the tone for your skin’s PH and some other factors but I’ll spare the long details here.Let’s get into this cleanser..•It has a light lemon scent. The smell doesn’t linger on the skin or isn’t overwhelming •It’s a light watery/gel texture •It has a nice lather and if you like that squeaky clean feel, this definitely does that! While it did leave me a little dry, and tight afterwards, which was expected from this particular type of cleanser given the instructions, (so dry skin beware) it also cleared some hyperpigmentation and smoothed out some in-grown hair follicles I deal with. •It’s a great Treatment Cleanser, with glycolic acid being the active ingredient in this, and high up in the ingredient list.•It’s budget friendly. You get a 6oz bottle, which is bigger than the average size regular cleansers that don’t have any active ingredients in them for $16! A little bit goes a long way, as you only should use this 1-2 times a week. Therefore, this will last you a good while, so you’ll definitely get your moneys worth!In conclusion, I’m surprised how much I enjoy this cleanser and would definitely recommend it to the budget conscious skincare rookie, the spend all skincare connoisseur, and mostly combination/ problematic skin types, dry, and oily skin types.

I wish they had stocked this earlier!!! Love how this eliminates small hormonal acne bumps and controls my oily/combo skin

« THE BEST »

I have used this cleanser for years and it is the absolute BEST. My skin is acne free and not super dry or super oily due to this cleanser. It removes any leftover make up and truly leaves your skinfeeling amazing! Highly recommend!

« No thanks »

Not a fan. I ran out of my regular glycolic cleanser and thought the price of this was great. They state that’s there’s 1% glycolic acid in there, but I could barely discern any. The one additive that I did notice was an overwhelming (bad) perfume fragrance. I don’t like my face cleansers to have so much perfume as it’s an irritant. I tossed the bottle and am just using Drunk Elephant’s Jelly Cleanser (really nice) until I can find a good glycolic one. This one’s cheap for a reason.

« I Stan! »

I’m very pleased with this cleanser. I’ve had it for a year at this point. I use it three times a week; helps with my oily buildup from wearing masks all day working. It doesn’t strip my skin or leave it super dry. Just feeling clean and executes my acne trouble on sight! Lasts a long time too!

« Wonderful cleanser »

I’m a product junkie and rarely finish a product before moving onto the next one. However, I just ordered my 3rd bottle of this. It’s smells wonderful, leaves my skin smooth and glowing and helps clear out my blackheads. I use it almost daily every morning.

« Soft Skin »

I have the worst skin.I have a reverse t-zone with an oily chin, dry forehead, and cheeks. I have tried so many products and nothing seems to work. I’ve tried Mario Badescu in the past and didn’t keep up with it. However, this cleanser left my skin feeling soft after one use, I was very impressed. Overall I am hoping to see my problem areas improve with this brand.

Though not sure about the cleanser, and if it works on my skin but I am completely shocked because I had no idea this cleanser is to be used twice or thrice a week and the other days you use your normal cleanser I had no idea as it’s not specified in the description about the brand or instructions. I’m bummed.

Very affordable. I only have to use a little bit because it does foam up well and it’s pretty gentle on my skin. I don’t get that tight, stretched feeling after washing. I use it in place of my other cleanser every other night and it really has changed the texture of my skin. It looks and feels smoother. My blackheads aren’t so noticeable and have actually been coming up to the surface and easily removed. I will definitely be buying this again when the time comes.

« love love »

I’ve been using this cleanser for about for about 7 months. I have had problems with hormonal acne on my chin and jaw and occasional cystic acne flare ups. At first I didn’t read on the label it was only supposed to be used 2-3 a week so I used it every morning and night and was surprised after reading reviews that nothing had happened worsened from doing that. I was in love with it when I noticed it would clear up my chin acne, however I would continue to get flare ups (and I’m not sure if that’s just my crappy chin or irritation from the product and thats the only reason why i gave 4 stars not 5). It may be too harsh for me everyday, but I started alternating with CeraVe and it works great. I will say this product did an amazing job of improving my skin tone, evenness, and pore size and no cleanser has ever made my skin look this great. (I also pair with a calming toner and the Say Yes to Tomatoes moisturizer and it makes my oily skin feel hydrated and has improved its ~oiliness~ a lot!)

« Long term use, still didnt like »

Ive used this for a few months now as instructed and I do not think it is very effective as a Glycolic wash. The price is good and i reallllly wanted it to work, but not only is it ineffective (the pH isnt low enough), it also contains Sodium Laurel Sulfate which stripped my skin and was very drying. I felt that i had to over compensate in serums and moisturizers. I think if youre looking for an effective glycolic wash, talk to your dermatologist for their recommendation that doesnt contain SLS. You can also just use a regular SLS-free fash wash (drugstore brands!) and then apply an chemical exfoliant after for better results.

« "resurface"? more like expunge »

“Resurfacing“ is putting it mildly - my skin felt absolutely raw after cleansing with this product. I didn’t care for the scent either, as it has a somewhat chemical odor to it. It’s marketed to all skin types but may be more suitable to normal/oily skin types (which I do not have). I suppose it’s alright for the price, but there are better products on the market that give me a deep clean without completely stripping my already dry skin.

« Gentle and Clean Glycolic Exfoliation »

I love the results of glycolic toners but they tend to be harsh on my sensitive skin so I picked up this product. It’s very affordable and a little goes a long way. I’ve used it 3 times per week and have seen great results without any irritation. My skin is smoother and has less texture. It helps to prevent breakouts and dissolves blackheads too. It is less of a cleanser and more of an exfoliating treatment (it works better after removing makeup). Overall I’m very pleased with the purchase and plan to pick up more in the future.

« Great Chemical Exfoliant, Not for Sensitive Skin »

This is so good for acneic skin. Not sure about the controversy around the ingredients, but this changed my skin. I am using prescription products now with gentle cleanser but for a non-prescription routine, I could not live without this.

Love the smell of it! Reminds me of childhood I use it on my body. Nice exfoliating cleanser for bumpy thighs.
