SkinCeuticals Purifying Cleanser with Glycolic Acid

Purifying Cleanser with Glycolic Acid is a dual-action foaming wash that pairs gentle exfoliation with genuine hydration — a rare combination for a daily cleanser. Sugar cane-derived glycolic acid lifts away dead skin cell buildup to refine tone and texture, while glycerin keeps skin from feeling stripped, even on oily or combination skin types.

Who it's for: Dry, normal, oily, combination, dehydrated, acne-prone, and aging skin wanting daily exfoliation built into their cleansing step.

Key Benefits
- Conditions, softens, and smooths skin texture
- Delivers dual cleansing and exfoliation with hydration
- Removes impurities and surface debris
- Refines dull tone and uneven texture
- Free from parabens, sulfates, soap, fragrance, dye, and alcohol

Why We Love It at Le Petit Spa
This is our go-to for clients who want visible texture improvement without adding another exfoliating step to their routine. The glycolic acid works quietly in the background of a cleanser they're already using daily, and the mild sulfate-free surfactant system means it never feels harsh.

How to Use
1. Apply twice daily to wet face and neck.
2. Massage in circular motions.
3. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry.
4. Follow with vitamin C serum and sunscreen in the morning, or a corrective product or moisturizer in the evening.
