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

- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract
- Glycerin
Derived from sugar cane, this powerful fruit acid helps stimulate skinās natural exfoliation process and minimizes the buildup of dead skin cells, resulting improvement in the appearance of skin texture, tone, and a brighter complexion.

Great exfoliator!
I bought this product about three weeks ago and have been using it daily since then. My skin already looks brighter and smoother! Love it!

Best cleanser yet
I am a 59 year old woman and I have been using Skinceuticals for the last 2 years. I started using this cleanser and I really like it, I have good skin in general but this really brings out the fresh glow and clean skin. It gently exfoliates and renews skin and the results were noticeable within the first week. I use to thoroughly cleanse my face specially when I have full on makeup and I'm impressed with the no residue feel and completely clean skin without drying my face. I follow up with a toner, a serum and a moisturizer (all skinceutical products) At my age I cannot be complacent with skin care and I insist on the best products; I believe that Skinceuticals gives me the best for my skin.

Stop what you're doing and go buy this product!
I am over the moon happy with this purchase! I have been using this product just under a month and have seen a significant different in my very dry skin shifting to being the softest and brightest it has ever been! This works great with Simply Clean...I like to use the glycolic cleanser every other morning and after a day of wearing face make up which for me is not often and use Simply Clean every evening and mornings I don't use the GC. My husband is also a big fan of this cleanser...when I'm willing to share it with him lol.

Love it so far
I have used their products before and always loved the outcome. I've only been using this specific cleanser a month but so far I love it and can tell it is starting to brighten my skin some.

Horrible bottle integrity!!
I work at a Dermatology office, we ordered 24 of these cleansers and can not sell a single one, and the ones we have sold have been returned! We lost a ton of money on this product!!! After speaking with our local rep 3 months ago, still NOTHING has been done about it.

Smoother skin
I have only used this for about a week so I can’t attest to skin brightening but it does make my skin look smoother and feel cleaner. My skin gets slightly dried out because of the exfoliating properties but not in an uncomfortable way, but I still think it’s better for more oily skin types.

Great product
This product is a must have! I can see and feel the difference it had made on my face and neck. It does what it claims to do and that is minimize lines.

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.
