Cleanse Glycolic Gel

Cleanse away the day while lifting the dull buildup that can leave skin congested, shiny and uneven.

Cleanse Glycolic Gel is a lightly foaming exfoliating cleanser formulated with Glycolic, Lactic and Salicylic Acids. It removes impurities while helping clear cellular debris, balance excess oil and refine uneven tone and texture—turning Step 1 into an active prep step for the rest of your regimen.

A cleanser that does more than remove surface impurities

Choose it when cleansing should also help refine the skin.

Three exfoliating acids with complementary roles

When excess oil and buildup start changing the way skin looks and feels

• Oiliness + shine — helps clear excess sebum and daily buildup from the skin surface.
• Congested pores — Salicylic Acid supports cleaner-looking pores and blemish-prone skin.
• Dull complexion — AHA exfoliation helps remove the dead surface cells that can make skin look flat or tired.
• Uneven texture — regular exfoliating cleansing helps skin feel smoother and look more refined.
• Uneven tone — surface renewal supports a clearer, more uniform-looking complexion.
• Visible signs of aging — smoother surface texture helps improve the overall appearance of photoaged skin.

Choose your cleanser based on what your skin needs from Step 1.

Step 1 — cleanse, exfoliate and prep

Use morning and evening as tolerated. If your skin is new to exfoliating cleansers or begins to feel tight, dry or sensitized, reduce frequency and alternate with a gentler cleanser.
