Medix 5.5 Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Wash + 10% Glycolic Serum Set — Peppermint Eucalyptus, AHA Resurfacing for Bumpy Dry Skin

Medix 5.5 Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Wash paired with the 10% Glycolic Acid Serum is a two-piece AHA system designed to resurface and soften rough, bumpy, and dry skin on face and body.

This set combines a foaming, sulfate-free Glycolic + Lactic Acid body and face wash scented with peppermint and eucalyptus, together with a concentrated 10% glycolic acid serum that doubles as a facial treatment and body booster. The pair works by chemically exfoliating dead skin cells and keratin build-ups—helping improve texture, reduce rough patches, and refresh tone—while fitting easily into existing skin routines when used with your favorite moisturizer.

How does the wash help with keratosis pilaris and bumpy skin?

The exfoliating wash delivers alpha hydroxy acids (glycolic and lactic) in a foaming, leave-on formula that softens hardened skin and eases the appearance of small bumps. It's designed to clear clogged pores and support smoother skin without aggressive scrubbing.

• Glycolic + lactic acids to dissolve dead skin and keratin plugs
• Peppermint + eucalyptus scent for a fresh feel during cleansing
• Sulfate-free foam that minimizes harsh stripping
• Suitable as face and body wash to target multiple areas

What does the 10% Glycolic Acid Serum do for daily skincare?

The concentrated 10% glycolic serum accelerates surface cell turnover and smooths texture when used alone or mixed into moisturizers. It can be applied to problem areas to refine tone and encourage a softer skin surface without mechanical exfoliation.

• 10% glycolic acid concentration for chemical exfoliation
• Works as a booster added to creams, oils, or serums
• Can be used on face and body for versatile treatment
• Designed for layered routines with compatible moisturizers

Will this routine irritate sensitive skin or cause over-exfoliation?

The formula blends multiple AHAs (glycolic, lactic, and phytic acids) to provide effective resurfacing while aiming to limit excessive irritation. Start gradually—use less frequently and combine with a gentle moisturizer—to assess tolerance and avoid overuse.

• Blend of AHAs balanced to reduce harshness
• Recommended slow introduction for sensitive or new users
• Compatible with hydrating creams to soothe the skin barrier
• Avoid mixing with other strong actives without guidance

How do I incorporate this set into my existing routine?

Use the foaming Glycolic Acid wash during cleansing, then apply the 10% Glycolic Serum to targeted zones or mix it into your moisturizer as a booster. Apply sunscreen daily while using AHAs and adjust frequency based on comfort and visible results.

• Cleanse with the AHA wash 1–2 times daily depending on needs
• Apply the 10% glycolic serum after cleansing and before moisturizer
• Mix a few drops of serum into body or face creams for a milder effect
• Always follow with SPF during daytime use to protect new skin

Who is this for: This two-piece Medix 5.5 set is aimed at people with rough, dry, or bumpy skin seeking chemical exfoliation without heavy scrubbing—especially those managing keratosis pilaris, uneven texture, or dull tone. It's suitable for users who want a concentrated glycolic serum to boost their moisturizer and a gentle, foaming AHA wash for regular use. If you have very sensitive or barrier-compromised skin, introduce the products slowly and consider consulting a skin professional for personalized advice.
