I have tried physical (mirco bead) scrubs to clean my pores and smooth out my skin. Did not get the job done. Still felt bumpy skin, still had blackheads. This cleanser, with glycolic acid, is the best! If I have makeup on, I use an oil cleanser as a precleanse, then use this. My pores are clear! My skin feels smooth. Definitely will keep ordering this.

Glycolic cleanser used in am & pm. I also use nightly renewing complex. Little goes a long way! Skinceuticals is a brand that is effective and you can trust. My mature skin quickly improved using this product combined with Skinceuticals Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight. Acne has plagued me since my 20's. It has cleared nearly all breakouts but one or two minor blemishes per month. Also, improvement seen in the texture of my skin - brightened and smooth; I saw a noticeable difference within 3 weeks!! You must slowly introduce to skin to avoid dryness, as well as USE SUNSCREEN daily and apply often when you are out in sun! It does make you more sensitive to sun! Overall extremely happy with all Skinceuticals products! Well worth every penny spent!

Ok - this cleanser stings a bit at first. It takes a few weeks to be able to get to the point where you can use it every day because it is strong. But, once you start to use it, I cannot stress enough how this really makes your skin glow. It is SO good.

Amazing exfoliator, gives skin a glowy clean. Result, little goes s long way, I use in AM, followwith C + AHA serum, for fine line reduction and that skin glow I want. Removes dullness. Not overly drying either. Dont mix with s retinoid topical after, will diminish effectiveness.
