GLYTONE Mild Gel Exfoliating Cleanser — 4.7% Glycolic Acid, 2 fl oz | Gentle, Hydrating, Fragrance-Free

GLYTONE Mild Gel Exfoliating Cleanser is a lightweight, oil-free gel face wash with 4.7% glycolic acid that gently exfoliates, cleanses makeup and impurities, and helps leave skin feeling smoother and hydrated.

This gentle gel packs glycolic acid and glycerin into a fragrance-free, vegan formula designed to lift away dead surface cells while supporting skin moisture. The 2 fl. oz. size makes it convenient for everyday use and travel; it’s non-comedogenic and formulated to prepare skin for serums and moisturizers without stripping. Ideal for users who want chemical exfoliation in a cleansing step, the cleanser balances renewal and hydration in a single product.

How does this cleanser exfoliate without feeling harsh?

The product uses 4.7% glycolic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid that works at the surface to loosen bonds between dead cells so they slough away during cleansing. The gel texture and glycerin help maintain moisture so the skin feels refreshed rather than tight. Because it rinses cleanly and is fragrance-free, sensitivity from irritants is reduced compared with fragranced scrubs.

• Contains 4.7% free acid value glycolic acid for surface exfoliation
• Glycerin delivers humectant hydration during cleansing
• Fragrance-free and oil-free to minimize irritation
• Rinses away residue, leaving a smooth base for treatments

Can I use this every day and where does it fit into my routine?

This gel is formulated for daily use as a first-step cleanser to remove makeup, sunscreen, and excess oil while providing gentle chemical exfoliation. Use it morning or evening before applying targeted treatments like serums or moisturizers. Start with once daily if you have sensitive skin, then increase to twice daily as tolerated.

• Use on damp skin: massage briefly, then rinse
• Follow with serum and moisturizer for best results
• Begin with once daily if you are new to AHAs
• Travel-friendly 2 fl. oz. size for routine continuity

What skin types is this suitable for and are there any safety notes?

The gel is formulated for all skin types and is non-comedogenic, vegan and fragrance-free, making it a good option for those who prefer minimal-ingredient products. Because it contains an active AHA, users should apply sunscreen during the day when using this cleanser regularly to protect newly revealed skin. If you have specific skin conditions or severe sensitivity, patch testing or consulting a skincare professional is recommended.

• Formulated for all skin types, including oily and combination
• Non-comedogenic and oil-free to avoid pore-clogging
• Vegan and cruelty-free with no added fragrance
• Use daily with sun protection for exposed skin

Who is this for: GLYTONE Mild Gel Exfoliating Cleanser is aimed at anyone who wants effective surface exfoliation paired with hydration in a simple, fragrance-free wash. It suits users transitioning into active skincare, travelers seeking a compact cleanser, and people who want an AHA-based daily cleanser that preps skin for serums and moisturizers without added oils or perfume.
