Medix 5.5 Glycolic + Lactic Acid Exfoliating Body Wash Gel 15 fl oz — AHA + Salicylic Acid, KP Bump Eraser, Peppermint Eucalyptus

Medix 5.5 Glycolic Acid + Lactic Acid Exfoliating Body Wash is a daily AHA foaming cleanser designed to slough away dry, bumpy skin and reveal smoother, more even-looking skin on body and face.

This gel-to-foam cleanser combines alpha hydroxy acids and salicylic acid in a gentle, sulfate-free base scented with peppermint and eucalyptus. It’s formulated to remove surface buildup, help clear keratosis pilaris (KP) and clogged follicles, and improve how your moisturizers and treatments absorb. The product was developed to balance effective exfoliation with humectants and mild surfactants so skin is cleansed without feeling stripped.

How does this wash improve rough, bumpy skin?

The AHAs (glycolic and lactic acids) work on the skin’s surface to dissolve the bonds that hold dead cells in place, while salicylic acid penetrates pores to address deeper congestion. Regular use softens keratin plugs and refines texture over time without heavy physical abrasion.

• Glycolic and lactic acids gently resurface the top layer of skin.
• Salicylic acid helps clear pores and reduce follicle blockages.
• Foaming gel lifts away flakes and residue for a smoother finish.
• Formulation includes humectants to avoid excessive dryness.

Can I use it on face and body, and how often should I use it?

This exfoliating wash is formulated for multi-use on both face and body and is suitable for daily use for most skin types. If you have sensitive skin, start with every other day to monitor tolerance and gradually increase as your skin adjusts.

• Safe for face and body when used as directed.
• Daily use recommended for many skin types; reduce frequency if irritation occurs.
• Patch-test new users or those with sensitive skin before regular use.
• Apply moisturizer after cleansing to support barrier recovery and hydration.

What skincare problems does it target and what results can I expect?

This cleanser targets dry, flaky skin, keratosis pilaris, ingrown hairs, rough texture, and uneven tone by promoting cell turnover and clearing pore-clogging oils. With consistent use you can expect softer, smoother skin and improved penetration of follow-up treatments and lotions.

• Reduces appearance of bumps and rough patches associated with KP.
• Helps prevent and clear ingrown hairs and breakouts related to clogged follicles.
• Prepares skin for serums and moisturizers to absorb more effectively.
• Scented with peppermint and eucalyptus for a refreshing cleansing experience.

Is the formula clean and suitable for sensitive or conscientious consumers?

The wash is dermatologist-tested, allergy-tested, cruelty-free, vegan, and free from many controversial ingredients such as parabens, sulfates, and formaldehyde. It blends effective acids with a supportive surfactant and humectant system to cleanse while minimizing over-drying for balanced care.

• Free from parabens, sulfates, mineral oil, and PEGs.
• Cruelty-free, vegan, and gluten-free labeling for ethical consideration.
