Normal, oily, combination, and acne-prone skin · Dullness and uneven texture · Rough or congested skin · Early signs of aging · Patients who want an active cleanser that works harder than a basic wash

Our go-to recommendation for patients who want to work an exfoliating step into their routine without adding another product. The glycolic acid is active enough to make a real difference in texture and radiance, but because it rinses off, it's well tolerated even by patients who are also using retinol or corrective serums. A great entry point for patients new to acids.
