Medix 5.5 Glycolic AHA Foaming Face & Body Wash + Retinol Moisturizing Body Cream 2‑PC Set — Exfoliate & Hydrate

MEDIX 5.5 two-piece set combines a glycolic AHA foaming face and body wash with a retinol-enriched moisturizing body cream to exfoliate, smooth texture, and hydrate skin.

This pairing is designed to help slough away dead surface cells with a gentle AHA blend while delivering Vitamin A support and antioxidants to help the skin look firmer and more even. The foaming cleanser uses glycolic and lactic acids plus a mild surfactant system to resurface skin without over-drying, while the Retinol Body Lotion supplies moisturizing emollients and age-targeted ingredients for nightly or daily hydration.

How does the AHA wash help clarify face and body skin?

The exfoliating wash uses an optimized mix of alpha hydroxy acids (glycolic and lactic) with supporting acids to dissolve dead skin and reduce rough patches. Its sulfate-free foam refreshes pores and helps prevent clogged follicles and ingrown hairs without stripping essential moisture.

• Glycolic and lactic acids promote surface cell turnover
• Includes salicylic and citric acids to target build-up and texture
• Peppermint and eucalyptus scent for a clean, awakening feel
• Sulfate-free surfactant system minimizes dryness

What benefits does the Retinol Moisturizing Body Cream deliver?

The Retinol Body Lotion blends Vitamin A with antioxidants and hydrating ingredients to visibly smooth and moisturize skin. It’s formulated to support the look of firmer, more even-toned skin while replenishing lipids that help comfort and soften.

• Retinol (Vitamin A) intended to improve skin texture appearance
• Moisturizing agents restore softness and reduce crepey feel
• Antioxidants included to support radiance and skin tone
• Lightweight cream absorbs for everyday use on body areas

Will this set be gentle enough for regular use and sensitive areas?

The formulation balances effective acid exfoliation with humectants and mild surfactants to avoid over-stripping. Dermatologist-, clinical-, and allergy-tested claims indicate the product was evaluated for tolerability, but start slowly and patch-test if you have very sensitive skin.

• Balanced AHA blend reduces risk of excessive dryness
• Humectants help maintain hydration during cleansing
• Cruelty-free, vegan, gluten-free, and free of parabens and sulfates
• Recommend gradual introduction: begin 2–3 times weekly

How should I use the cleanser and the retinol cream together in a routine?

Use the glycolic AHA wash in the shower or at the sink to remove dead skin and prep the surface, then apply the retinol body cream to dry skin—preferably in the evening when retinol is most commonly used. Allow the cleanser to rinse thoroughly; apply the lotion in a thin, even layer to areas of concern.

• Cleanse with AHA wash, rinse well, pat skin dry
• Apply retinol lotion at night or as directed to body areas
• Use sunscreen during daytime when using acid and retinol products
• Adjust frequency based on tolerance and skin response

Who is this for: This MEDIX 5.5 set is suited for anyone seeking to smooth rough or bumpy skin, address dullness, or add targeted retinol hydration to the body. It’s appropriate for people wanting an exfoliating cleanser that preps skin for treatment and a complementary retinol moisturizer—ideal for those managing texture issues, keratosis-prior-like bumps, or wanting a more refined, hydrated look. If you have reactive skin or are using other active treatments, consult a skincare professional before integrating strong actives.
