Your cleanser should do more than rinse away makeup. If dull, rough texture and enlarged pores frustrate you, this SkinCeuticals gel delivers chemical exfoliation every time you wash. The 8% glycolic acid formula gently dissolves dead cells without harsh scrubbing, revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath.

Key Benefits

  • Resurfaces dull skin: 8% glycolic acid dissolves dead surface cells for visible brightness
  • Refines enlarged pores: Daily exfoliation clears buildup that makes pores look larger
  • Smooths rough texture: Speeds cell turnover to reduce bumps and uneven patches
  • Removes long-wear makeup: Gel formula lifts stubborn cosmetics and daily impurities
  • Maintains moisture comfort: Glycerin and aloe keep skin balanced, not tight or stripped

Key Ingredients

Glycolic Acid (8%): A small-molecule alpha hydroxy acid that penetrates outer layers to break down dead-cell bonds and accelerate natural turnover. Phytic Acid (1%): A gentle chelating agent that brightens and supports glycolic acid's exfoliating action. Aloe Extract (2%): Calms skin during exfoliation and helps prevent irritation. Glycerin: A humectant that draws moisture into skin, preventing the tight feeling some acids can cause.

How to Use

Wet your face and neck with lukewarm water. Dispense a nickel-sized amount into your palms and massage over skin in gentle circular motions for 30 seconds, avoiding the eye area. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Use morning and evening. Follow immediately with your serum and moisturizer. Always apply SPF 30 or higher in the morning after use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this cleanser every day?

Yes, the formula is designed for twice-daily use on non-sensitive skin. If you're new to glycolic acid, start once daily or every other day, then build up as your skin adjusts. Always follow with broad-spectrum SPF in the morning.

Will this remove waterproof mascara?

Yes, the gel formula is concentrated enough to lift long-lasting makeup, including waterproof formulas. Massage gently over closed lids in circular motions, then rinse thoroughly. For heavy eye makeup, a dedicated remover may still be more efficient.

Does glycolic acid make skin sensitive to sun?

Yes, all alpha hydroxy acids increase photosensitivity by removing protective dead-cell layers. Use a minimum SPF 30 every morning after cleansing with this product, even on cloudy days. Reapply sunscreen every two hours outdoors.

Can I use this with retinol at night?

Yes, but monitor your skin for irritation. Cleanse first with this glycolic gel, wait 10 minutes for skin pH to normalize, then apply your retinoid. If redness or flaking occurs, alternate nights between the two products.
