Replenix Glycolic Acid Resurfacing Facial Cleanser, Gentle Medical Grade Exfoliating Face Wash for Skin Discoloration (6.7 fl. oz)

Gentle, but effective. My skin is noticeably softer and smoother after use. I will be re-ordering this for as long as they make it.

Love this cleanser.It seems to lighten my dark spots some.I put it on a couple of minutes before I get in the shower until it's drying out. Then remove it in the shower!

I love this cleanser!!! I put in on my face, neck and décolletage about 5 minutes before showering and then rinse it off and my skin, the next day feels soft and hydrated. I use it maybe 3 times a week, it’s great for exfoliation and keeping my skin healthy.

I have combination skin that is dry in some areas and oily in others. Finding products that can balance everything out can sometimes feel impossible. Many glycolic acid products dry out my skin something awful.The consistency of this product is white, lotiony, and creamy. It is easy to spread over my skin.Normally, I leave my facial cleansers on while I am shaving my legs or shampooing my hair. I tried that with this one and couldn't do it. It was burning and stinging after a few minutes. Yikes! My face was so incredibly red when I got out of the shower and felt very irritated. The next time I tried it, I applied it and didn't leave it on nearly as long. I still experienced the tingling and a slight burn but nowhere near as bad. It does leave my cheeks quite red for awhile after use even if I rinse it off immediately. I would recommend using it sparingly at first, especially if you have sensitive skin. I normally do NOT have sensitive skin but this one did cause some irritation.The fragrance is fresh, clean, and somewhat citrusy.There is very little lather produced by this cleanser which I didn't mind. It was somewhat hard to rinse and left my already oily skin feeling a bit greasy. If you have dry skin, this may work better for you! It moisturized surprisingly well!After using this for a few weeks, my skin does look more radiant and brighter in appearance, especially around my darker eye area. The effects are subtle but still noticeable.

Great Exfoliating product for combination skinBrightens; reduces appearance of dark spots; acne scars; fine linesWork up to daily use depending on skin types

I've given this product a solid 4 months of use prior to writing this review. It takes some time to assess how long post-inflammatory pigmentation (PIH) takes to fade. I have been struggling with adult acne over the last year after a few years of clear skin. I'm working with my doctor and am on a solid routine to address prevention. This Replenix Glycolic Acid Resurfacing Cleanser is what I've been using to try and fade marks that do appear, as that's what it's marketed for. The bottle says "Discoloration" right under the Replenix logo, however that's not in the title listing for some reason.I have been using the product as an in-shower 2-minute mask 3-4 times per week. Since it does contain 10% glycolic acid, I want to let that sit on my skin for a little while to get the benefits of it instead of washing it off in 30 seconds. I don't think you can really get the benefits of the ingredients in this product if you don't let it sit on your skin a bit. I have used about 1/2 my bottle so far and I expect to get at least 6-8 months out of it, which is a decent value for the price IF it works for you. I personally don't think I will be repurchasing.The product itself is almost like a cleansing milk. It's creamy and doesn't foam. It's easy to massage into the skin and one pump is plenty for my face and neck. I do have sensitive skin and if there is any type of break in my skin (like a recently removed blackhead or healing pimple mark) I will experience a slight sting that lasts a couple of seconds. When I first experienced this I expected my face to be red because that's usually what happens when I react to something, however my skin wasn't red at all. I think it's just the glycolic acid reacting with the exposed, microscopic, compromised breaks in the layers of my skin. Note, the bottle does say, "A mild, transient tingling sensation may occur in patients with sensitive skin." As I've been using this for a few months, I am not sure that it's helping fade my post-acne marks any better than any other product I've tried for the same purpose. In my review photo, I am able to see that I still have discoloration marks left from pimples I had in April. It's possible that they might have been even more discolored if I hadn't been using this product, but it's not enough to wow me.I do have to say that I give a huge eye-roll whenever a non-prescription product markets itself as having "Medical Grade Ingredients." There are probably other OTC products that have similar ingredients and work just as well. I like the Replenix brand and I really wish they didn't do this because I find it misleading. If it was medical-grade then it should require a prescription. I am also disappointed by the before-and-after photo used in the product listing. I think it is very misleading and sets unrealistic expectations for users.

This product cleared up my break outs within weeks. It is a creamy cleanser. It has glycolic acid in it. That is a great gentle chemical exfoliant. I use it at night, and a gentle cleanser in the morning. I don’t have to use any other type of exfoliator. My skin has been flawless. It is a good price for a quality product.

Hands down a must have! Keeps skin smooth, free from breakouts, and had this fresh feeling. Use it every night and it doesn't dry out your skin!
