The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other women's everyday face care: moisturizers, face mists, facial kits, rollers, cleansing brushes and steamers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

This gel cleanser centers on a 2% AHA complex made from glycolic acid and lactic acid, with glycerin worked in alongside them. It is dermatologist tested, lightly scented, and made for all skin types, and it is also microbead free, so there are no plastic exfoliating beads in the mix.

The 6.8 fluid ounce bottle is sized for regular daily use, and the gel format is easy to work into a lather during a normal cleansing step rather than feeling like a separate treatment.

With a 4.6 star average across more than 1,500 ratings, this is one of the more established, well reviewed cleansers in this category. Its current monthly purchase count is quite low next to that large review base, which suggests it now sees more steady, repeat use than a wave of brand new buyers.

Pros

  • 2% AHA complex of glycolic and lactic acid supports smoother, brighter looking skin
  • Dermatologist tested formula
  • Glycerin helps balance the exfoliating acids with some hydration
  • Microbead free, so no plastic exfoliating beads
  • 4.6 star average across more than 1,500 ratings

Cons

  • Lightly scented formula may not suit fragrance sensitive skin
  • Layering this on top of other acid based products could be more exfoliation than some routines need
  • Current monthly purchase volume is quite low compared to its large review base

Performance notes

Glycolic acid and lactic acid are both alpha hydroxy acids, and combining them at a 2% concentration keeps this cleanser in the gentle daily use range rather than a stronger treatment strength. Glycerin in the mix helps offset some of the drying effect exfoliating acids can have, which fits the all skin types positioning.

What buyers say

A 4.6 star average across more than 1,500 ratings is a strong, consistent score built up over time. The much lower recent monthly purchase count suggests this cleanser now sees more repeat, loyal use than a wave of brand new buyers.
