Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel — Glycolic + Salicylic Exfoliating Peach-Scented Gel (6.7 oz)

This invigorating gel cleanser delivers a fresh, peach-scented wash that targets surface buildup and pores while helping to improve the look of texture and radiance. Formulated for most skin types (except sensitive), it combines chemical exfoliants with brightening botanicals to cleanse thoroughly without heavy residue. The result: skin that looks cleaner, smoother and more refined after each use.

How does this cleanser exfoliate without physical scrubbing?

The formula uses chemical exfoliants—glycolic acid and salicylic acid—that loosen dead skin cells and clear pore-clogging debris. These acids work on the skin’s surface and within pores rather than relying on abrasive particles, which reduces mechanical irritation.

• Glycolic acid helps shed surface cells to reveal fresher-looking skin.
• Salicylic acid penetrates pores to help dissolve excess oil and buildup.
• Creamy gel texture rinses clean, avoiding gritty residue from scrubs.

Will this cleanser remove makeup and oils effectively?

Yes — the brightening gel is designed to emulsify oils and lift makeup without multiple steps. It works as a single-step cleanse for many users and prepares skin for follow-up treatments or moisturizers.

• Dissolves light-to-moderate makeup and SPF during rinsing.
• Emulsifies excess sebum to help clear pores and surface shine.
• Leaves a clean base that improves the feel of subsequent skincare products.

What skin benefits can I expect with regular use?

Regular use aims to refine the look of pores and the surface texture while promoting a more even, clarified appearance. Brightening botanicals help enhance radiance while the acids address common aging concerns such as roughness and uneven tone.

• Improves visual texture and smoothness of the complexion.
• Helps minimize the look of pores and surface irregularities.
• Supports a clearer, more luminous finish when used consistently.

How should I incorporate this into my routine safely?

Use the gel as part of a daily cleansing step—morning or evening—depending on your skin’s needs. Because it contains active acids, follow with sunscreen during daytime and monitor tolerance if you use other exfoliating products.

• Apply to damp skin, massage gently, then rinse thoroughly.
• Start with once daily, increasing frequency as tolerated.
• Pair with broad-spectrum SPF in daytime routines after use.

Who is this for: This product suits normal, combination, oily and sun-damaged skin types seeking a non-abrasive exfoliating cleanser that also removes makeup and oil. It is not recommended for sensitive skin or users with known intolerance to glycolic or salicylic acids. Ideal for anyone wanting a refreshing, spa-like cleanse that targets texture and clarity without physical scrubbing.
