Medix 5.5 Glycolic + Lactic Acid Exfoliating Body & Face Wash, 2-Pack — AHA+BHA, Sulfate-Free Peppermint Eucalyptus

MEDIX 5.5 Glycolic Acid + Lactic Acid Exfoliating Body Wash is a daily foaming AHA and BHA cleanser designed to gently remove surface dead skin and smooth rough, bumpy texture on face and body.

This exfoliating gel combines glycolic and lactic acids with salicylic acid in a sulfate-free base scented with peppermint and eucalyptus to help resurface skin, clarify pores, and improve product absorption. The formula was developed to target common texture concerns such as keratosis pilaris, ingrown hairs, and uneven skin tone while supporting regular cleansing routines for both face and body.

How will this wash help rough, bumpy skin?

The AHA blend (glycolic and lactic acids) works at the surface to loosen and remove dead skin cells, while salicylic acid penetrates pores and hair follicles to address buildup. Together they reduce the appearance of bumps and make skin feel softer with continued use.

• Glycolic and lactic acids encourage surface cell turnover for smoother texture
• Salicylic acid helps clear oils and debris from pores and follicles
• Foaming, water-rinse formula avoids heavy residue that can trap dead skin

Can I use this every day and where on my body is it safe?

This cleanser is formulated for daily use on both face and body for most skin types; it was created to cleanse without stripping by balancing surfactants and humectants. Avoid broken or highly irritated skin and adjust frequency if you experience sensitivity.

• Suitable for chest, back, arms, legs, and facial cleansing
• Sulfate-free base helps reduce over-drying during routine use
• Start with every-other-day use if you have reactive skin, then increase as tolerated

What other concerns does this product address besides bumps?

In addition to texture smoothing, the formulation can help even out skin tone and reduce the likelihood of clogged pores that lead to breakouts and ingrown hairs. Its exfoliating action also improves the uptake of follow-up moisturizers and treatment products.

• Helps diminish dullness and uneven tone by removing surface buildup
• Assists in preventing ingrown hairs when used before shaving
• Prepares skin so lotions and serums penetrate more effectively

What’s in the formula and are there any fragrance or safety notes?

The wash contains a blend of alpha hydroxy acids (glycolic, lactic, citric) plus salicylic acid and is scented with peppermint and eucalyptus oils. It’s cruelty-free, vegan, dermatologist-tested, and free of parabens, sulfates, mineral oil, and several other common irritants, but users sensitive to essential oils or acids should patch-test first.

• Key actives: glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, citric acid
• Free from parabens, sulfates, PEGs, mineral oil, and formaldehyde
• Dermatologist-tested, cruelty-free, vegan, and gluten-free

Who is this for: This two-pack is aimed at people seeking a targeted exfoliating cleanser for keratosis pilaris, rough arms or legs, acne-prone back/chest, or anyone wanting a daily AHA/BHA wash to improve skin texture and product absorption. If you have extremely sensitive or compromised skin, consult a skin professional before starting daily acid exfoliation.
