Simplified Skin Glycolic Acid Face Wash 10% AHA — 6 fl oz exfoliating cleanser with aloe & sunflower oil

Simplified Skin Glycolic Acid Face Wash is a 10% AHA cleanser that gently exfoliates, clears pore build-up, and helps improve skin texture across face, body, and underarms.

This resurfacing cleanser combines a clinically effective concentration of glycolic acid with soothing ingredients like aloe vera and sunflower seed oil to remove dead skin cells while minimizing dryness. Designed as a multitasking first step, it both cleans and primes skin so subsequent serums and moisturizers perform better. The formulation is sulfate-free, cruelty-free, and free of artificial dyes for a cleaner everyday routine.

How will this face wash change my cleansing routine?

Replacing a basic soap with a 10% glycolic acid wash adds chemical exfoliation to your cleanse, which loosens dead skin and unclogs pores without physical scrubbing. Using it regularly smooths texture and helps products that follow penetrate more evenly. Start slowly to assess tolerance, then move to regular use as tolerated.

• Combines cleansing and exfoliation in one step
• Prepares skin for better absorption of toners and serums
• Use 2–3 times weekly at first, then increase if your skin tolerates it

Will this be too harsh for sensitive or dry skin?

The formula pairs glycolic acid with aloe vera and sunflower seed oil to soothe and support hydration while exfoliating. Many users with sensitive skin find it tolerable when introduced gradually, but patch testing is advised. If redness or irritation occurs, reduce frequency or discontinue.

• Aloe vera calms skin and reduces irritation
• Sunflower seed oil helps preserve moisture during cleansing
• Free of sulfates and artificial dyes to limit potential irritants

Can I use this on areas beyond my face?

Yes — the lightweight, rinse-off AHA formula is suitable for other areas with texture or build-up, such as underarms, chest, and body zones prone to bumps. It helps loosen dead skin and smooth rough patches where physical exfoliation can be too abrasive. Avoid broken skin and follow up with a hydrating product.

• Safe for use on face, underarms, and body patches with buildup
• Avoid open cuts, active acne lesions, or sunburned areas
• Rinse thoroughly and apply moisturizer after use

How should I layer this with other products like retinoids or vitamin C?

Because glycolic acid increases skin cell turnover, space strong actives to minimize irritation: use this cleanser in the morning or on alternate nights from retinoids. Pairing it with a simple hydrating routine and daily SPF is recommended. If you use vitamin C, consider applying it at a different time of day to reduce sensitivity.

• Use sunscreen daily to protect newly exposed skin
• Alternate nights with retinoids or apply at different times of day
• Keep follow-up routine hydrating and non-irritating

Who is this for: This Simplified Skin Glycolic Acid Face Wash is designed for anyone seeking a reliable, rinse-off chemical exfoliant to refine texture, clear clogged pores, and improve the performance of skincare steps that follow. It fits well for people with dullness, uneven tone, or rough patches on the face or body who want a gentle but effective AHA option. Those with very reactive skin should introduce it slowly and consult a skincare professional if concerned.
