Botanic Tree Glycolic Acid Face Wash — 10% Glycolic + Salicylic Acid Cleanser, 6 fl oz with Shea & Bamboo

Botanic Tree Glycolic Acid Face Wash is a dual-action exfoliating cleanser that blends 10% glycolic acid with salicylic acid to gently resurface skin while cleansing and helping reduce breakouts.

This facial wash combines chemical exfoliation with soothing botanicals to clarify texture, clear pores and improve overall tone without stripping the skin. Formulated as both a cleanser and light peel, it lathers into a non-sticky foam and includes bamboo extract, shea butter and tea tree to help calm and hydrate while acids work. Use as part of an evening or alternate-day routine to lift dull layers and leave skin feeling smoother and more even.

How does this face wash exfoliate without over-drying?

The formula uses 10% glycolic acid (an AHA) to loosen dead skin cells and a salicylic acid (BHA) to penetrate pores and help clear sebum. Shea butter and bamboo extract are included to maintain moisture and reduce the sensation of tightness after rinsing. The result is a resurfacing effect that feels fresh rather than stripped.

• 10% glycolic acid for surface exfoliation
• Salicylic acid to target clogged pores and excess oil
• Moisture-supporting shea butter and soothing bamboo extract
• Creates a clean, non-sticky lather that rinses easily

Will this product help reduce breakouts and dark spots?

The combination of AHA and BHA helps speed the removal of dead skin and assists in keeping pores clearer, which can reduce the frequency of breakouts. Regular use can also improve skin texture and the appearance of post-inflammatory marks as surface cells turn over. Tea tree extract provides a botanical calming influence that supports blemish-prone skin.

• Dual acids help minimize blackheads and whiteheads
• Supports gradual fading of dark spots through increased cell turnover
• Tea tree extract offers an additional soothing, clarifying effect
• Recommended use 2–5 times weekly based on tolerance

How should I use this cleanser safely in my routine?

Apply a small amount to damp skin, gently massage for 30–60 seconds, then rinse thoroughly; avoid prolonged contact with eyes. Start with less frequent use (twice weekly) to assess tolerance, then increase to up to 4–5 times per week if skin responds well. Always follow with a moisturizer and daily sunscreen when using AHAs and BHAs, since exfoliation increases sun sensitivity.

• Use on damp skin, massage briefly, rinse well
• Begin with 2 times per week, increase gradually
• Pair with moisturizer and SPF during daytime
• Not suitable for use on broken or severely irritated skin

What makes this formula different from a regular face scrub?

Unlike physical scrubs that manually abrade the skin, this face wash relies primarily on chemical exfoliants to dissolve dead cells and clean pores. The acids provide a controlled, even resurfacing while botanicals and emollients reduce friction and irritation. The texture is a foaming cleanser with gentle scrub-like feel but without harsh microbeads or rough particles.

• Chemical exfoliation for even, consistent resurfacing
• No abrasive micro-beads—gentler on skin barrier
• Foaming formula that rinses cleanly without residue
• Balanced with botanical moisturizers for comfort

Who is this for: Botanic Tree Glycolic Acid Face Wash is designed for adults and teenagers looking to improve skin texture, minimize clogged pores, and reduce occasional breakouts without heavy drying. It fits skin types that tolerate acids—normal, combination, oily, and some resilient dry skins—when introduced gradually. If you have very sensitive or compromised skin, patch-test first or consult a skincare professional before regular use.
