Medix 5.5 Glycolic + Lactic Exfoliating Foaming Wash & Fragrance-Free Retinol Lotion Kit — Face & Body, Smoother Texture

MEDIX 5.5 exfoliating glycolic + lactic foaming wash paired with a fragrance-free retinol body lotion is a two-step skin-smoothing system designed to gently remove dead skin and support firmer-looking texture on face and body.

This kit combines an AHA-rich foaming cleanser formulated with glycolic and lactic acids and a fragrance-free retinol lotion formulated for use on face and body. The wash helps loosen and lift dry, rough patches and keratin plugs, while the retinol lotion delivers Vitamin A and antioxidant support intended to help improve surface texture and the appearance of crepey skin over time. The set is made without common irritants and is manufactured in a cGMP-compliant facility in Chicago.

How does the exfoliating wash help rough or bumpy skin?

The foaming cleanser uses glycolic and lactic acids to chemically exfoliate—softening flakes, reducing keratin buildup, and refreshing uneven tone. It’s designed to prepare skin for moisturizers by clearing the top layer of dull cells, which can improve lotion absorption and performance.

• Contains glycolic acid (AHA) and lactic acid for gentle resurfacing
• Peppermint + eucalyptus-scented foaming texture for a refreshing cleanse
• Sulfate-free formula minimizes excessive dryness
• Targets keratosis pilaris, ingrown hairs, and flaky patches

What benefits can I expect from the fragrance-free retinol lotion?

The unscented lotion delivers retinol (vitamin A) alongside antioxidants and emollients to support smoother-looking skin. It’s formulated to help with visible texture concerns like fine lines and crepey appearances while hydrating with ingredients that calm and condition.

• Retinol to encourage cell turnover and support firmness appearance
• Includes shea butter, vitamin E, and ferulic acid for antioxidant protection
• Aloe vera and chamomile help reduce visible redness and soothe skin
• Fragrance-free to lower risk of scent-driven irritation

Can I use this set on both face and body, and how often should I apply?

Yes—the wash is formulated for face and body use, and the lotion is suitable for facial and body application where retinol is tolerated. Start gradually: use the exfoliating wash a few times weekly and apply the retinol lotion in small amounts, increasing frequency as your skin adjusts.

• Begin with 2–3 uses per week for the glycolic/lactic wash
• Apply a pea-sized amount of retinol lotion to face initially, more for body areas
• Introduce nightly or every-other-night retinol only after assessing tolerance
• Always follow with sunscreen during daytime—AHA and retinol increase sun sensitivity

Is this formula free of common irritants and safe for sensitive skin?

The formulas are formulated without parabens, sulfates, drying alcohols, PEGs, talc, mineral oil, and dyes to reduce potential irritants. They are dermatologist- and allergy-tested, but anyone with very sensitive or reactive skin should patch-test and consult a dermatologist before combining active ingredients.

• Free from parabens, sulfates, drying alcohols, and dyes
• Dermatologist-, allergy-, and clinically-tested manufacturing standards
• Produced in a cGMP & MoCRA-compliant facility in the USA
• Patch-test recommended for sensitive or compromised skin

Who this set is for: This MEDIX 5.5 duo is intended for people looking to reduce roughness, keratosis pilaris bumps, and dull or crepey texture on face and body through a targeted exfoliation and retinol regimen. It suits those who prefer fragrance-free moisturizing options, want antioxidant support, and desire a cleaner formula without common irritants. If you have active dermatologic conditions, are pregnant, nursing, or using strong prescription treatments, check with your healthcare provider before starting retinol or AHA products.
