EXUVIANCE Deep Clean AHA Foaming Face Cleanser 7.2 fl oz — Glycolic AHA/PHA, Soap-Free Makeup Remover

EXUVIANCE Deep Clean AHA Foaming Face Cleanser is a soap-free foaming gel that removes makeup, surface oils, and impurities while promoting smoother skin texture. This foaming facial cleanser uses a blend of alpha- and polyhydroxy acids, led by glycolic acid and gluconolactone, to gently lift away makeup and environmental buildup without stripping the skin. The formula is soap-free and designed to rinse clean, leaving skin balanced and refreshed. Dermatologist- and allergy-tested, it’s formulated to work into a daily routine for clearer-feeling skin and a refined surface appearance.

How does this cleanser remove makeup without drying my skin?

The EXUVIANCE foaming gel combines surfactants that create a thorough lather with humectant and acid ingredients that help maintain hydration. Because it is soap-free, it avoids the harsh alkaline pH and heavy detergents that can leave skin tight or flaky. Rinsing removes makeup and impurities while glycerin-like components support moisture retention.

• Glycolic acid and gluconolactone solubilize surface buildup and light residue.
• Soap-free surfactant system cleanses without high-alkaline stripping.
• Formulation supports skin's natural pH to reduce dryness after rinsing.

What makes the AHA/PHA blend beneficial for my skin texture?

The blend of alpha-hydroxy (AHA) and polyhydroxy (PHA) acids works on surface renewal to help smooth and clarify the skin’s texture. Glycolic acid promotes gentle surface exfoliation while gluconolactone offers milder, hydrating exfoliation with antioxidant properties. Together they help the complexion look more even and refined when used consistently as part of a routine.

• Glycolic acid supports removal of dead surface cells for smoother feel.
• Gluconolactone offers gentle exfoliation with hydrating support.
• Regular use promotes a clearer, more uniform surface appearance.

How should I incorporate this into my daily skincare routine?

Use the foaming gel twice daily—morning and evening—as the first step in cleansing to remove makeup, sunscreen, and daily grime. Apply to damp skin, massage to a lather, then rinse thoroughly and follow with serums and moisturizer suited to your skin type. If you use active treatments like retinoids or professional resurfacing, monitor tolerance and adjust frequency as needed.

• Apply to damp face, massage gently, rinse and pat dry.
• Follow with targeted treatments and a hydrating moisturizer.
• Start with once daily if you have sensitive skin, then increase as tolerated.

Is this product suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

While the formula contains active acids, it is soap-free and designed to be non-drying; gluconolactone is a PHA known for milder action compared with stronger exfoliants. It has been dermatologist- and allergy-tested, but individual tolerance can vary—patch testing or gradual introduction is recommended for sensitive skin types. For acne-prone skin, it helps clear surface oils and buildup that can contribute to congested pores.

• Gluconolactone provides milder exfoliation helpful for sensitive skin.
• Soap-free base minimizes aggressive stripping and irritation risk.
• Dermatologist and allergy testing supports general tolerability.

This cleanser is ideal for anyone seeking a thorough daily wash that doubles as a makeup remover while supporting a smoother-feeling complexion—especially those wanting gentle AHA/PHA exfoliation without a drying finish. It suits normal, combination, and many sensitive or acne-prone skin types when introduced gradually. If you use prescription actives or have specific skin conditions, consult a skincare professional for tailored guidance.
