Science & Proof
The effectiveness of glycolic acid is determined by its free acid value, which depends on 2 factors:
1. Concentration: a 4-10% glycolic acid is the ideal concentration for nightly use
2. pH: low pH formulas preserve the strength of the glycolic acid for optimal efficacy on skin
Glycolic Renewal Cleanser is formulated with a concentration of glycolic acid that delivers a true 8% glycolic free acid value at a pH of 3.5. Designed for normal, oily, combination, and dry skin, Glycolic Renewal Cleanser combines a powerful blend of exfoliating and soothing ingredients to improve skin texture, tone, and radiance.
Key Ingredients
- 8% Glycolic Free Acid Value
- 1% Phytic acid
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract
- Glycerin
Derived from sugar cane, this powerful fruit acid helps stimulate skin’s natural exfoliation process and minimizes the buildup of dead skin cells, resulting improvement in the appearance of skin texture, tone, and a brighter complexion.

One of a kind
I've been using this product going on 2 months. It is the ONLY skincare product I have ever purchased that has given me truly visible results in a short period of time. It does sting a little. But it delivers. It exfoliates my skin, removtes makeup and preps my skin to receive moisturizer. I love it.

GLOWING!
For the past year I've been struggling with dry-congestion in my T zone. After using this product for a month, my skin has completely transformed for the best. I purged the first three weeks which is what I hoped for because - new skin cells! The glycolic does give some tingling action however it never leaves my sensitive-combo skin irritated, dry or tight. The gel consistency turns into a soft foam, almost velvety feel. My pores have reduced in size where the congestion took place. and although my skin feels moisturized immediately after cleansing, I apply their B5 serum for hydration + Physical Fusion UV Defense because this cleanser can increase the risk of sun burn. overall leaves skin clean, supple and healthy. QUALITY CLEANSER!

Would not buy again
I am not really a fan of this cleanser, it just doesn’t leave that clean feeling on my skin, I always feel like I have to double up on a face wash or an Exfoliator after using this cleanser. I bought this products in hopes to help with melasma spotting, I do not see any difference. It was leaves a funny taste on lips. So far, I prefer the serum products from this brand.

Exfoliates & leaves my skin glowing
I use this product 2-3 days a week. I keep in the shower, and use it in place of my exfoliator. I use it with a “buff puff” sensitive sponge. It gives my skin a great glow without the irritation I get from grainy exfoliators. Too strong for me to use every day, but perfect as a treatment every 2-3 days.
