IMAGE Skincare MD Restoring Facial Cleanser 4 fl oz — Salicylic + AHA Exfoliating Face Wash with Menthol

IMAGE Skincare MD Restoring Facial Cleanser is an exfoliating face wash that uses salicylic, glycolic and lactic acids plus soothing botanicals to remove impurities and refresh skin.

Designed as a daily to regular-use cleanser, this 4 fl oz formula combines beta- and alpha-hydroxy acids with aloe leaf juice and menthol to lift oil, clear dead surface cells and leave skin feeling cool and renewed. It prepares the skin for follow-up serums and creams while delivering a gentle exfoliation that targets dullness and uneven texture. The result is cleaner-feeling skin and a smoother canvas for treatment products.

How does this cleanser gently exfoliate without over-drying?

The formula balances salicylic acid (a beta-hydroxy acid that helps dissolve oil and lift debris) with glycolic and lactic acids (alpha-hydroxy acids that soften and slough off dead surface cells). Aloe leaf juice helps maintain moisture while menthol provides a light cooling sensation so the skin doesn’t feel stripped.

• Salicylic acid penetrates oil to help clear pores and reduce surface congestion.
• Glycolic and lactic acids promote cell turnover for smoother texture.
• Aloe leaf juice hydrates and soothes during exfoliation.
• Menthol delivers a refreshing, energized finish without heavy residue.

When should I use IMAGE MD Restoring Facial Cleanser in my routine?

Use this cleanser as the first step in morning and/or evening routines depending on your exfoliation tolerance. For sensitive or dry skin, start with every other day and build to daily use as tolerated; oily or combination skin types often tolerate more frequent use.

• Start with damp skin, massage briefly, then rinse thoroughly.
• Follow with a hydrating serum or moisturizer suited to your skin type.
• Avoid combining with other strong exfoliants the same day to reduce irritation risk.

What skin concerns does this face wash help improve?

This cleanser targets surface dullness, uneven texture and mild pore congestion by combining chemical exfoliants and calming botanicals. It’s formulated to leave skin smoother and better prepared to absorb follow-up treatments like serums and creams.

• Helps remove dead skin cells that cause dullness.
• Assists in clearing surface oil and light pore buildup.
• Prepares skin for active treatments by improving product penetration.

Is this suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Many users with acne-prone skin find salicylic acid beneficial for mild congestion, while the AHA blend smooths texture. Sensitive skin types should introduce the product slowly and monitor for irritation; consult your skincare professional if you are using prescription exfoliants.

• Acne-prone skin: may reduce surface congestion when used consistently.
• Sensitive skin: start with reduced frequency and patch-test first.
• Do not mix with prescription retinoids or strong peels without guidance.

Who is this for: IMAGE Skincare MD Restoring Facial Cleanser is aimed at people seeking a professional-level, daily-to-regular exfoliating cleanser—ideal for those with dull or uneven skin texture, mild pore congestion or anyone wanting a refreshed, smooth base for serums and moisturizers. If you have very sensitive or compromised skin, introduce gradually or seek personalized advice from a skincare professional.
