Glycolic Acid Face Wash

I have used this throughout the years. It’s really 10% and no tricky bs. I use it every day with a glycolic toner 10% and 14% glycolic serum. Why? Because as a licensed esthetician, I have built up my skin’s tolerance with chemical exfoliation. So I am able to benefit from this routine without irritation or peeling. I’m not sensitive to begin also. This cleanser would be enough exfoliation for most anyone. Things to know: It can be one of the pricier options on Amazon but, I trust the Touch brand and recommend it to clients along with their holy grail microdermabrasion scrub. That means, I make no commission on selling my spa products. I love recommending Touch because it’s high quality, affordable and effective. It is very runny so be careful to not overuse. The viscosity is a sign that it is true chemical ingredient and not a bunch of chemicals to make it thicker. I get compliments on my skin at 46.

FULL DISCLOSURE: I'm a 75 yo woman. Although I'm a blue-eyed former blond, I'm a tanner, not a burner. I have elevens, crows feet, howdy doody lines, and some wrinkling around my lips. HOW I USE IT: I've used this product five or six times, every three days, in the shower. After I rinse it off, I very lightly and very carefully shave my face. RESULTS: Extraordinary. My friends noticed it before I did. My skin has regained the bloom of youth. It's absolutely gorgeous. On the other hand, there's been no change to the nickle-sized liver spot on the side of my face. Only time will tell. WHAT I DON'T LIKE: Despite my best efforts to restrain it, the bottle dispenses far too much cleanser at one time, enough to do my face and my decolletage with some left over. It's wasteful.

Its very strong, Tried it on my face and it felt like it had a sunburn. Used it on my feet and it works well. If your looking for almost a peel this may work, but try a small spot first and don't put it on any part of your body without trying a small section first. Its not a typical mild cleanser this is the real deal. Its also pretty watery.

If you're like me, you're here because Maderma AG is no longer available :-(... BUT, this product is the absolute next best thing... maybe even better... I got my product in the mail after buying it yesterday. Amazon is amazing for the next day delivery, so thank you Amazon. The product arrived right at the time I wash my face which is twice a day once in the morning and once in the late afternoon. So late afternoon today I opened the product and dispensed the recommended dose, and washed my face good. OMG!!! I pat dried my face with a clean towel and proceeded to get in my car to do an errand. When I put my car in reverse while having my foot on the brakes, I looked up instinctively into the rear view mirror 🪞 😎 and ✨️ I was immediately gobsmacked at the glow and the shine coming off of my face! At first I thought it was oil being purged from my oily skin, but no... it was actually the newer layer of skin exposed after the dead skin was sloughed and shed away with the soft exfoliation sponge 🧽 I use. The alpha hydroxy acid used in this product is called glycolic acid and its the second ingredient in this product which means its actually in a fair amount of the product. You can feel the product shedding dead skin. Wash your face with this product and you'll be amazed how good you look, especially if you get a haircut or hairstyle, the clean glowing skin will be the completion of what you need to look stunning. This product gives you the confidence you need because with a little patience, you will reclaim good healthy clear skin!

I was skeptical after reading the reviews, specifically people mentioning that their bottle came without “10% glycolic acid” on it. I was concerned it wouldn’t be strong nor have “10% glycolic acid” written on it but I took a chance (it was between this one and a different brand on Amazon) and thankfully my bottle did. Glycolic acid is also listed as the second ingredient after water. Not only that, but I could tell it was strong by the tingling sensation on my face. I use this in the shower 2-3 times a week, I let it sit on my face for a few mins however it is difficult because the consistency is watery but I can definitely feel a tingling sensation. I do not have sensitive skin, I have oily combination skin. I would definitely recommend this product!

This face wash has been an absolute GAME-CHANGER for my skincare. I used to use alpha hydroxy acids when I was a teenager and had bad hormonal acne and everything always made it worse. I didn't know enough then to try different kinds (I mostly used salicylic acid) and I honestly am not sure anything would have helped me then. Since then, my skin FINALLY cleared up at around age 26 and I've been dealing with ruddy, dull skin that has below the surface scarring that causes me to always be red. It's been a long time since I used any chemicals whatsoever on my face so I thought I would test the waters again and O-M-G. I did a lot of research before picking this face wash. It has the right percentage of glycol acid to not irritate and peel the skin, it has a shorter list of ingredients than most other glycolic acid products, and it had great reviews. I only have 2 things to mention to future buyers....One) If you have facial scarring or discoloration of any kind, it is possible that it may look worse before it looks better. Not by much, but I can tell that my hyperpigmentaiton spots and my old acne scars are much closer to the surface since starting to use this wash. I'm confident they will fade but it will take time. In the meantime, the overall texture, tone, and health of my skin is way, way better. Two) This is a good product to buy as a first step into AHA's or glycolic acid to acclimate your skin to it. I will eventually buy a 30% glycolic peel because my goal is to heal dark spots and scars as fast as I can (while not overdoing it). If you just want to improve your skin's color, texture, and overall health and don't have any major discolorations, than this 10% face wash is all you need for flawless skin.

This stuff smells great and gets rid of most of acne. But it causes peeling and dryness. Also, Is the fragrance naturally derived or is it synthetic? Also, when i look at the ingredients on the bottle i got, I don’t see aloe vera! If it had aloe vera, the dryness/peeling wouldn’t be as harsh. The alpha hydroxy is causing the peeling. It’s effective but my main concern is about the fragrance. Is it natural?! I asked on the instagram this question and those clowns still haven’t replied. I think if companies say they’re vegan and use only vegan ingredients, they need to specify their fragrance is naturally derived. If they can explain where the fragrance comes from, I’ll feel better about using this. As for the peeling, a decent moisturizer can help. I put honey on my face after.

I am so happy to have found Touch! My dermatologist recommended Aqua Glycolic cleanser for me years ago to smooth my skin and help get the debris out of my pores. That product was great and affordable I even bought it at Sears! When it was no longer available I looked and found Touch and it is phenomenal! My skin is smooth and lines are minimized. It makes a difference quickly. My teenage daughter also uses it and it has cleared her acne right up. It's a great product and lasts a long time you need so little. One thing to watch out for is not using it with other products that have glycolic or other types of acid. I once put a small amount of aqua glycolic cream I had after using this and it was too harsh for my skin. For some people that might have been okay, but it too much everyone is so different. It is really a great product!

I am not sure about this coz I used 2x but it gives me bad side effects like my skin been itchy, redness so I stop using it.
