GLYMED Gentle Facial Wash 8oz — 10% Glycolic Acid Exfoliating, Soap- & Fragrance-Free Cleanser for Sensitive or Aging Skin

Glymed Plus Gentle Facial Wash is a soap-free, paraben-free 8oz cleanser with 10% glycolic acid designed to gently exfoliate and clarify sensitive, aging, or pigmentation-prone skin.

This daily cleanser balances effective chemical exfoliation with a calming formulation to refresh skin without stripping moisture. It uses glycolic acid (an AHA) at a 10% concentration to lift away dead surface cells and surface impurities while remaining free of fragrance, oils, and soaps that can irritate reactive skin. The result is a smoother texture, reduced appearance of fine lines and pores, and a more even-looking complexion when used as part of a consistent skincare routine.

How does this wash exfoliate without being harsh?

The 10% glycolic acid provides controlled chemical exfoliation, loosening dead skin cells at the surface so they rinse away gently rather than being scrubbed off. The formula omits irritating ingredients like soap, fragrances, and heavy oils, which helps maintain the skin’s natural barrier during treatment.

• 10% glycolic acid (AHA) for surface exfoliation
• soap-free base reduces drying and irritation
• fragrance-free to limit sensitization
• oil-free for a non-greasy rinse-off finish

Will this help with enlarged pores and uneven tone?

Regular use supports improved skin texture and a cleaner pore appearance by clearing away buildup and dead cells that make pores look larger. The exfoliating action also helps reduce pigment irregularities over time by encouraging cell turnover and revealing fresher skin.

• clears surface debris that accentuates pores
• promotes turnover to fade superficial pigmentation
• gentle daily use supports gradual visible improvement

Is this appropriate for sensitive or aging skin types?

Formulated without parabens, soaps, oils, or fragrances, the wash prioritizes a mild profile suited to sensitive or mature skin while still delivering anti-aging benefits via exfoliation. Users who are new to AHAs should start with less frequent use and increase as tolerance builds.

• paraben-free to reduce preservative concerns
• fragrance-free to minimize irritation risk
• recommended gradual introduction for AHA newcomers

How should I incorporate it into my skincare routine?

Use the cleanser once daily or on alternate days at first, then increase frequency if your skin tolerates it. Follow with a hydrating serum and broad-spectrum sunscreen in the morning to protect newly revealed skin from UV exposure.

• start with 2–3 times weekly, then adjust as tolerated
• apply moisturizer after cleansing to support barrier repair
• always use sunscreen during daytime following AHA use

Who is this for: Glymed Plus Gentle Facial Wash is intended for adults with sensitive, combination, or mature skin who want an effective yet mild chemical exfoliant. It fits routines aimed at smoothing texture, softening fine lines, clarifying pores, and addressing early pigmentation concerns—provided users introduce the product gradually and pair it with hydration and sun protection.
