Dove Glycolic Serum Body Wash for Women — Fresh Waterlily 14.2 oz, 2% Glycolic Acid pH-Balanced Exfoliating Cleanser

Dove Glycolic Serum Body Wash is a pH-optimized, glycolic-acid body cleanser that gently exfoliates, refreshes skin and helps manage odor changes linked to hormonal shifts.

This body wash blends 2% glycolic acid derived from sugar cane with a silky, milky lather and a Fresh Waterlily fragrance to deliver a renewed-feeling skin surface. Designed through Dove’s Women Wellness program with input from gynecologists and menopause specialists, the formula aims to support skin during periods of changing hormones—such as perimenopause, postpartum or menstrual cycles—by smoothing texture and helping control odor without parabens or sulfates.

How does the glycolic serum formula improve skin texture in the shower?

The wash contains 2% glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid that loosens dead skin cells to reveal smoother skin. Used in a rinse-off format, it provides mild, regular exfoliation without harsh scrubbing when combined with gentle massage and thorough rinsing.

• 2% glycolic acid helps shedding of surface dead cells
• Acidified, pH-optimized formula supports odor control
• Silky, creamy foam allows gentle application across the body
• Suitable for routine use—follow packaging instructions for frequency

Will this body wash help me feel fresher during hormonal changes?

The formulation targets odor fluctuations often tied to hormonal transitions by combining pH optimization with AHA exfoliation, which can reduce the environment where odor-causing bacteria thrive. Its light Fresh Waterlily scent adds an uplifting, clean finish without heavy masking.

• pH-balanced to support natural skin environment
• Exfoliation reduces buildup that can contribute to odor
• Fresh Waterlily fragrance: lemon, aloe, honeysuckle, waterlily notes
• No parabens or sulfates included in the formula

Is this body wash gentle enough for sensitive or changing skin?

Though it contains an active AHA, the wash is formulated for gentle daily use when used as directed and rinsed thoroughly. It was developed with dermatologist input and co-created with women’s health experts to be mindful of skin’s natural rhythms, but those with very sensitive skin should patch-test first or consult a clinician.

• Dermatologist-backed development and expert collaboration
• Silky, non-abrasive texture minimizes mechanical irritation
• Free from parabens and sulfates for milder cleansing
• Patch-test recommended for highly reactive skin

How do I use Dove Glycolic Serum Body Wash for best results?

Apply a small amount to wet skin and lather gently across the body, focusing on areas prone to sweat or texture concerns. Rinse completely and follow with your usual moisturizer or body cream to lock in hydration.

• Use on wet skin in the shower—no need for vigorous scrubbing
• Rinse thoroughly to remove all product residue
• Follow with a hydrating body lotion if desired
• Adjust frequency if irritation appears—discontinue if needed

Who is this for: Dove Glycolic Serum Body Wash is aimed at people seeking a gentle exfoliating body cleanser that addresses texture and odor shifts tied to hormonal changes—such as perimenopause, postpartum recovery, or menstrual-cycle variations—while preferring a non-irritating scent and formulation. It’s suited to those who want routine, pH-aware care developed with women’s health expertise and who prefer products without parabens or sulfates. If you have very sensitive or medically reactive skin, consider a patch test or consult your healthcare provider before regular use.
