Medix 5.5 AHA Glycolic & Lactic Foaming Face Wash + Retinol Body Cream 2-PC Set — Exfoliate & Hydrate

MEDIX 5.5 2-piece set combines a glycolic and lactic acid foaming cleanser with a retinol-enriched moisturizing body cream to exfoliate, resurface, and hydrate face and body skin.

This kit pairs an AHA-powered foaming face and body wash with a retinol body lotion to help remove dull surface buildup while delivering nourishing moisture. The cleanser uses glycolic and lactic acids plus complementary acids to encourage smoother texture and clearer pores; the lotion contains vitamin A (retinol) and antioxidants to support more even-looking skin and softer-feeling areas after exfoliation. Both products are formulated to reduce roughness and prepare skin to better absorb active ingredients.

How does the AHA foaming wash improve skin texture?

The exfoliating wash uses a blend of alpha hydroxy acids to gently dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells and the fresh skin beneath. It creates a creamy foam that cleans without harsh stripping while helping to reduce bumps and keratin build-up over time.

• Glycolic and lactic acids for surface exfoliation
• Additional acids (salicylic, citric) to refine pores and tone
• Sulfate-free foaming system that avoids over-drying
• Peppermint and eucalyptus scent for a fresh wash experience

What benefits does the retinol body cream provide after exfoliation?

The retinol lotion supplies vitamin A derivatives and antioxidants to help skin appear firmer and look more even after flaky, dry layers are removed. It is designed to be used post-cleanse to support smoother-looking areas and to hydrate without heavy greasiness.

• Retinol (vitamin A) to support skin renewal appearance
• Moisturizing emollients and humectants to lock in hydration
• Formulated to target crepey texture, fine lines, and rough patches
• Fast-absorbing texture suitable for larger body areas

Is this set suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The cleanser was created with a balanced surfactant and humectant system to minimize over-drying while providing exfoliation, and both products have undergone dermatologist and allergy testing. Because acids and retinol can be sensitizing, start slowly—use the wash a few times weekly and apply the lotion in small amounts to tolerant areas before regular use.

• Dermatologist-tested and allergy-tested formulation
• Cruelty-free, vegan, and gluten-free ingredients
• Free of parabens, sulfates, mineral oil, and drying alcohols
• Patch-test recommended for very reactive skin

How should I include these products in my skincare routine?

Use the AHA foaming wash in the shower or at the sink to cleanse face and body, rinsing thoroughly after a gentle lather. Follow with the retinol body cream on dry skin to help maintain moisture and support smoother-looking texture; avoid combining strong actives on the same application until you know your tolerance.

• Cleanse with the AHA wash one to three times weekly, increasing as tolerated
• Apply retinol body cream in the evening to clean, dry skin
• Use sunscreen during daytime when using acids or retinol
• Adjust frequency to avoid irritation—less is often more initially

Who is this for: This two-piece MEDIX 5.5 set is designed for people seeking a comprehensive body and facial regimen that targets rough texture, dry flaky skin, and uneven tone. It fits those who want an exfoliating wash that preps skin for active treatments and a retinol moisturizer that focuses on smoothing and hydration. If you have very sensitive or barrier-compromised skin, consult a specialist and introduce the acids and retinol gradually.
