Apply a small amount to a wet face and gently massage using light circular movements.

Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat the skin dry.

Begin once daily or every second day. If well tolerated, the cleanser may be used morning and evening.

Avoid the eye area. Do not leave the product on the skin as a mask.

Follow with corrective serum, moisturiser and broad-spectrum SPF50+ during the day.

Reduce the frequency if dryness, sensitivity or persistent irritation develops.

Suggested Routine

AM: Glycolic Renewal Cleanser → Antioxidant Serum → Moisturiser → SPF50+

PM: Glycolic Renewal Cleanser → Hydrating or Corrective Serum → Moisturiser

When using prescription retinoids, strong retinol products, leave-on acids or professional resurfacing treatments, alternate use according to professional advice.

Glycolic Acid

An alpha hydroxy acid that exfoliates accumulated surface cells to improve visible texture, radiance and tone. The formula provides an 8% glycolic free-acid value.

Phytic Acid

Supports gentle surface renewal while providing antioxidant and complexion-brightening benefits.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Helps soothe and condition the skin during cleansing.

Glycerin

A humectant that helps attract moisture and reduce the tight, depleted feeling sometimes associated with active cleansers.

Boswellia Serrata Gum

A botanical ingredient that provides complementary skin-conditioning and soothing support.

SkinCeuticals evaluated Glycolic Renewal Cleanser within a 10-week integrated skincare protocol involving 60 women aged 30–55 with Fitzpatrick skin types I–IV.

The study compared regimens incorporating Glycolic Renewal Cleanser, Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight and professional Micropeel 30 treatments with a basic skincare and professional-peel regimen. Manufacturer-reported assessments identified significant improvements in radiance, evenness of skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles, with the integrated regimen described as well tolerated.

Because several home-care and professional products were used together, the results cannot be attributed to Glycolic Renewal Cleanser alone. The publicly available study material does not establish that this cleanser independently produces the same outcomes.

Perfect Pairing

For dullness and environmental protection:

Glycolic Renewal Cleanser → C E Ferulic or Phloretin CF → Moisturiser → SPF50+

For uneven texture and dehydration:

Glycolic Renewal Cleanser → Hydrating B5 Gel → Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2

For an advanced evening resurfacing routine:

Glycolic Renewal Cleanser → Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight on scheduled evenings

Do not introduce multiple exfoliating products simultaneously. Build frequency gradually according to tolerance.
