Overview
This 6.7 fl oz tube cleanser from Glytone builds its cleansing action around 4.7% pure glycolic acid, formulated for normal to combination and oily skin. It is vegan, fragrance-free and positioned as a dermatology-oriented daily wash rather than a spot treatment.
The 4.7% glycolic acid concentration puts this closer to a mild chemical exfoliant than a plain foaming wash, meant to resurface skin gently with regular use rather than deliver a strong single-use peel. Glytone describes it as one of the most purchased items in its dermatology-focused line, and the gel format and glycolic acid content make it more suited to combination or oily skin than to dry or sensitive skin. With 1,500 plus ratings at 4.6 stars, it has a long track record on Amazon.
- 4.7% pure glycolic acid gel cleanser
- 6.7 fl oz tube, vegan and fragrance-free
- Formulated for normal to combination and oily skin
- Long-running product within Glytone's dermatology line
Who it's for
Fits people with normal to oily or combination skin who want a daily cleanser that also exfoliates, particularly those already comfortable with glycolic acid. Less suited to very dry or reactive skin, since regular glycolic acid use can be drying for some.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Glycolic acid works during a normal cleansing step
- Vegan and fragrance-free formula
- Gel texture suited to oily and combination skin
- Long-standing rating history on Amazon
- Glycolic acid may be too active for dry or sensitive skin used daily
- Gel cleansers can under-hydrate skin without a follow-up moisturizer
Performance notes
Because glycolic acid loosens the bonds between dead skin cells, a cleanser at this concentration does mild resurfacing work in the seconds it is on the skin, lighter than a leave-on glycolic treatment but more active than a standard foaming or gel cleanser. It rinses clean, consistent with a gel rather than a cream cleanser, and is fragrance-free for those avoiding added scent.
