DERMAdoctor Glycolic Acid Face Wash – Exfoliating, Soap-Free Antioxidant Cleanser for Smoother Skin

DERMAdoctor Glycolic Acid Face Wash is a soap-free, dermatologist-formulated exfoliating cleanser that removes makeup, unclogs pores, and smooths skin texture while delivering antioxidant support.

This cleanser combines alpha-hydroxy acid exfoliation with antioxidant-rich extracts to address common signs of aging including uneven tone, visible fine lines, and enlarged pores. Designed for daily use, the formula is free of synthetic fragrances, dyes, parabens, phthalates and gluten, making it suitable for a range of skin types. It works on the face and body to lift away dead skin cells, reduce surface oil, and prepare skin to absorb serums and moisturizers more effectively.

How does this cleanser gently exfoliate without over-drying?

The Glycolic Acid Face Wash uses a soap-free base and a controlled concentration of glycolic acid to dissolve bonds between dead skin cells, promoting a smoother surface without harsh scrubbing. The formulation balances exfoliation with hydrating and non-stripping ingredients so skin feels clean, not tight.

• Glycolic acid provides chemical exfoliation for smoother texture.
• Soap-free and oil-free base reduces risk of stripping natural lipids.
• Suitable for daily use as part of a gentle routine.

What antioxidant benefits are included and why do they matter?

The cleanser is infused with white tea, pomegranate, and CoQ10, offering antioxidant defense that helps protect the skin surface from everyday environmental stressors. Antioxidants support the skin’s natural repair processes and help preserve a brighter, more even-looking complexion after cleansing.

• White tea extract helps neutralize free radicals on the skin surface.
• Pomegranate extract supports a refreshed, radiant appearance.
• CoQ10 contributes to antioxidant activity and skin vitality.

Can I use this on body areas with rough or bumpy skin?

Yes — this anti-aging face wash doubles as a gentle glycolic acid body cleanser to smooth areas prone to roughness or keratosis pilaris. Applied in the shower, it helps lift dead skin and soften texture while remaining non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic.

• Effective on shoulders, chest, arms, and legs to reduce rough patches.
• Removes excess oil and unclogs pores on body skin.
• Maintains skin comfort without leaving residue or heavy oils.

Will this wash help my other skincare products work better?

By exfoliating surface dead cells and smoothing skin texture, the cleanser improves the skin’s ability to absorb active serums and moisturizers. Using it as the first step in an anti-aging routine can make subsequent products more effective at delivering targeted ingredients.

• Smoother surface enhances penetration of serums and creams.
• Preps skin for targeted anti-aging treatments.
• Supports consistent results when used regularly in a routine.

Who is this for: DERMAdoctor Glycolic Acid Face Wash is formulated for people noticing early to advanced signs of aging—such as dullness, fine lines, and uneven tone—who want a gentle daily exfoliant that also delivers antioxidant support. It suits all genders and many skin types, including those seeking a fragrance-free, dermatologist-formulated cleanser for both face and body. Avoid use if you have active severe irritation or have been instructed by a clinician to avoid alpha hydroxy acids; patch-test if you have extremely sensitive skin and introduce gradually.
