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.

Could tell a difference first use!
I just received my product and started my cleansing and I could tell a difference in the texture of my skin right away. I hope that I continue to see more difference in the appearance of blemishes. I will update again soon with more results!

HOW DO I KNOW?
The Glycolic cleanser---how do I know it's working. I like the feel of the product, of course, it's wiping off any sweat, makeup. But I can't see a difference on my face now. Wouldn't you say it's too soon? I haven't had it a month yet. What kind of a change am I expected to see? I really would like a professional explain this. I am 70 but not wrinkles, and mostly everyone I mention my age to can't believe I am. I have gone through life changing tragedy now a year and have lost 14 lbs and my face is thinner. That's why I am trying your product. So I can't answer some of your questions now, too soon.

I like it but BEWARE SUN SENSITIVE
I think it's working well, i've only used it a few times but please be aware that this product has a sun sensitive warning on it that is NOWHERE on the description of the product. For the price it's not worth the hassle of returning, but I probably would not have purchased it had it said that in the description.

Adult Acne Solution
I struggle with adult acne. After using this cleanser my skin started clearing up and I hardly ever breakout now! It also improved my skin texture.
The cleanser can be a bit irritating at first but after a couple of weeks your skin will become used to it.

Awful
I just got this and within a week my always clear skin is riddled with ance .... I’m in my 40s
And haven’t had these issues since I was a teen. Nothing about this cleanser is what the marketing states- just awful.

Love it
I used for 1 year the blemish age cleanser and switched to this 4 days ago and wow! What a difference in pore size, skin unity and clarity! I rub it on my face with no water and let it sit for minutes until it tingles then ad water to wash. For the first time not 1 new pimple! Thank you. I have tried every cleanser for the last 30 years.
I am sure in 2 weeks my skin will look even better. I am turning 50 next month. people tell me I look 30!!! I recommend this to everyone who struggles with aging and acne.

Wonderful Product
I started using this product a couple weeks ago to replace the LHA cleanser I had been using for years. This products works great and doesn't irritate my eyes like the LHA cleanser did. It tingles just a tiny bit so you know it's working.
