Dermalogica Daily Glycolic Cleanser — Brightening Face Wash, 5.1 fl oz with Glycolic Acid & Calendula for Gentle Daily Exfoliation

Dermalogica Daily Glycolic Cleanser is a brightening, conditioning face wash formulated with glycolic acid to lift surface buildup and reveal a more even, refreshed complexion.

This daily cleanser combines the exfoliating action of glycolic acid (AHA) with soothing botanicals to cleanse away environmental residue without stripping skin. It targets dullness and uneven tone by gently dissolving dead skin cells while leaving skin conditioned, supported by calendula extract and jojoba seed oil. The lightweight formula rinses clean, making it easy to slot into morning and evening routines for gradual brightening and smoother texture.

How does this cleanser brighten dull, uneven skin tone?

The glycolic acid in this formula helps loosen dead surface cells and dissolve the buildup that makes skin look lackluster. Regular use assists in revealing fresher-looking skin and a more balanced tone while the gentle base maintains comfort during cleansing.

• Contains glycolic acid (AHA) to exfoliate surface cells
• Removes environmental residue that contributes to dullness
• Rinses away without leaving heavy film

Will it strip or dry out my skin?

No—this cleanser is formulated to cleanse and condition. Calendula extract and jojoba seed oil help soothe and support the skin’s natural lipid barrier so the face feels refreshed rather than tight after rinsing.

• Soothing calendula to calm skin during cleansing
• Jojoba seed oil to help maintain hydration and softness
• Non-drying texture designed for daily use

How should I use it in my routine for best results?

Use the cleanser on damp skin, massaging gently across face and neck, then rinse with warm water. For many people, morning and night use delivers gradual improvement in brightness and texture; follow with your usual serums and moisturizers.

• Apply to damp skin, massage, rinse with warm water
• Use once or twice daily depending on tolerance
• Follow with SPF in the morning—AHA can increase sun sensitivity

What skin types is this suitable for, and are there precautions?

This cleanser is designed for skin that tolerates mild AHA exfoliation and is suited to those seeking brighter, more even-looking skin. People with highly sensitive or compromised skin should patch-test first and consider less frequent use until tolerance is confirmed.

• Suitable for normal, combination, and some oily skin types
• Patch test recommended for sensitive skin
• Avoid contact with eyes; use sunscreen after daytime use

Who is this for: Dermalogica Daily Glycolic Cleanser fits anyone wanting a daily, brightening face wash that combines light chemical exfoliation with conditioning ingredients. It works well for people dealing with dullness or surface buildup from environmental exposure, and for those who prefer a gentle AHA option they can use as part of a regular skincare regimen. If you’re unsure about AHA strength for your skin, start with once-daily or alternate-day use and adjust based on comfort and results.
