Recommended by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Caren Campbell, this gentle glycolic wash combines effective exfoliation with skin barrier support to reveal smoother, brighter, healthier-looking skin.

Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane. Because it has the smallest molecular size of all AHAs, it penetrates the skin efficiently to loosen the bonds between dead surface skin cells. This process helps remove dull, flaky buildup and accelerates the skin's natural renewal cycle.

Regular use can help:

• Smooth rough, uneven texture
• Brighten dull or lackluster skin
• Improve the appearance of fine lines and photodamage
• Reduce visible flaking and dry patches
• Enhance penetration of moisturizers and active skincare ingredients

Unlike harsh physical scrubs that can create microscopic tears in the skin, glycolic acid provides controlled chemical exfoliation, encouraging healthy cell turnover while maintaining skin integrity.

In a wash-off formulation, glycolic acid delivers gentle exfoliation with minimal irritation, making it an excellent option for those with dull, mature, or flaky skin who want a more radiant complexion without the downtime associated with stronger exfoliating treatments.

Dermatologist Tip: Consistent, gentle exfoliation often produces better long-term results than aggressive scrubbing. Use this wash a few times per week to support smoother texture, improved radiance, and healthier-looking skin. Always follow with moisturizer and daily sunscreen.

Apply to damp skin 2–3 times per week, or as tolerated. Gently massage a small amount onto the face using light, circular motions, avoiding the eye area. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.

Follow with a hydrating serum or moisturizer. Use sunscreen during the day, as glycolic acid can increase sun sensitivity.
