Serious Skincare Glycolic Cleanser 10% Glycolic Acid, 12 fl oz — Deep Pore Exfoliating, Low‑pH Soothing Formula

Serious Skincare Glycolic Cleanser is a 10% glycolic acid face wash that exfoliates, clears pores, and removes makeup, oil, and blackheads while rinsing away without an oily residue.

This retexturizing cleanser blends chemical exfoliation with a creamy, low-pH formula so you get deep pore cleansing without a tight, stripped feeling. Formulated with soothing aloe and chamomile, it targets dead skin cell buildup to reveal a smoother surface and helps prepare skin for shaving or follow-up treatments. The pump bottle is sized for daily use in the shower or at the sink and is designed to rinse cleanly for a soft, non-greasy finish.

How does a 10% glycolic acid cleanser improve skin texture?

Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps loosen the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to slough away more easily during cleansing. Regular use helps reveal fresher skin beneath, reducing dullness and improving overall smoothness over time without mechanical scrubbing.

• 10% glycolic concentration for chemical exfoliation.
• Removes surface buildup that causes rough texture and clogged pores.
• Supports clearer-looking skin when used consistently.

Will this cleanser strip my skin or leave it dry?

The formula is oil-free and low-pH, designed to cleanse deeply while rinsing away completely so skin feels clean but not overly dry. Added aloe vera and chamomile help soothe and reduce irritation, making the cleanser suitable for many skin types when used as directed.

• Creamy, water-rinsing texture that avoids greasy residue.
• Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice and Chamomilla Recutita to calm skin.
• Balanced pH to support effective pore cleansing without harsh stripping.

Can I use this to remove makeup and prepare for shaving?

Yes—this cleanser removes makeup, excess oil, and impurities while helping smooth the face and neck, making it a useful shave prep to reduce clogged razors and provide a cleaner surface. For heavy eye makeup, use a dedicated eye makeup remover first, then follow with the glycolic cleanser.

• Effectively removes light-to-moderate makeup and surface oils.
• Prepares skin for a closer shave by clearing dead skin cells and buildup.
• Pump bottle makes application quick and convenient for daily routines.

How often should I use this product for best results?

The cleanser is formulated for daily use—morning and evening—if your skin tolerates glycolic acid regularly; otherwise, start with once a day or every other day to gauge sensitivity. Increase frequency gradually to avoid irritation, and always follow with sunscreen during the day when using exfoliating acids.

• Begin with 1–2 times per week if new to AHAs, then increase as tolerated.
• Daily use is appropriate for many users seeking consistent resurfacing.
• Pair with daytime SPF to protect newly exposed skin cells.

Who this is for: Serious Skincare Glycolic Cleanser suits anyone looking to improve skin texture, reduce pore congestion and remove everyday makeup or oil without a heavy residue. It’s a practical choice for people with acne-prone, combination, or dull skin who want a chemical exfoliant in a rinse-off format, and for men and women who want a cleaner shave prep. Avoid use on actively irritated or broken skin and consult a dermatologist if you have specific skin conditions or concerns about strong exfoliants.
