AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser

Good exfoliating

At my older age, it’s important to exfoliate the dry, dead skin and this cleanser does the job. I rotate every other day with another cleanser and I’m pleased with this cleanser

Hate the new packaging

So much waste in the lid- harder to dispense. I have been using this for years,but looking for something else bc of this change 🙁

Great product, horrible packaging

I’ve been using this cleanser for several years and I do love it. The new packaging is terrible though. All the cleanser gathers into the cap and then leaks out when you open it. Unfortunately I will be removing this from my auto replenish due to this and will be looking for a new product instead

Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser

Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser. It applies nicely to my skin at night. It is not at all abrasive, yet it is textured enough to scrub and cleanse away makeup and impurities. I have to say I do not like the new packaging. It's bulky and it weighs more, too much packaging

Not a go-to cleanser

I use it from time to time to gently exfoliate my skin. I don't recommend using it every day or even that often. Additionally, I mix it with my foaming cleanser for a better cleaning experience

Skin looks and feels great!

I have used the SkinMedica exfoliating cleanser, but not faithfully. I currently keep it in the shower and use it more often and love it! I don’t need a separate cleaner and exfoliating product. It’s all in one and my face is much smoother and makeup goes on better. I do agree with others that the twist off cap makes use more difficult in the shower, especially when it drops, and it always does!!

Got for exfoliating

I leave this concert in the shower and use it a few times a week. Works well and I’m happy overall

Good not great

The fact that I purchased this in April 2025 and it is now August 2026 and half the bottle is still full is quite telling. I so wanted to love this. It is very gentle, I don't feel that it exfoliates enough. I am a hugh fan of SkinMedica but I can't endorse this product. It just feels like a regular cleanser. I wash my face twice a day and rarely reach for this anymore. I would say if you can get this as a sample, it's worth giving a try first before committing to a full bottle

Great product but preferred previous packaging

I've been using this for years and love it! The new container creates a lot of waste, so I preferred the previous bottle. However, the product still works very well for daily use!

Effective

Began using this face wash after purchase from medical spa. Found it at at a better price. It keeps my face soft and exfoliated while effectively removing makeup

Unclogs my pores

I like this cleanser because it thoroughly cleans my skin from dirt oils and make up, without affecting the top layer of my skin. My follow-up products works better and more easily absorbs. Be cautious using this on a regular basis during the summer months. I always follow up with a sunscreen when I do. Used on a regular basis it can make your skin very susceptible to affects from the sun. I would buy this product again

Amazing cleaner

This cleaner is the best I’ve tried. Really brightens skin

Great

Great to really clean impurities and lightly exfoliate. I use as my night cleaner and my skin has cleared up and texture is much better

Sublime Cleanser!

With combination skin still in my 70’s plus a tretinion user, the SkinMedica AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser gently exfoliates flaky skin without stripping my skin. A bonus is a little of the cleanser goes a long way so it lasts an lasts

Great everyday exfoliating cleanser

After reading the reviews, I purchased this cleanser and I love it! It is the perfect exfoliator for everyday use because it cleans your face thoroughly and actually softens your skin as opposed to other brands that leave your skin feeling extremely dry

Erases dullness

Had almost given up on exfoliating face washes. They always end up being too abrasive and did more harm than good for my sensitive skin. SkinMedica AHA/BHA is the best exfoliating face wash I’ve ever met! It’s super gentile but removes dry skin, unclogs pores and leaves my face smooth and décolletage glowing. At 48 I still have acne prone skin and this has never caused me to have a breakout. 10 out of 10!

Do not plan to reorder

I’m only so-so on this cleanser. It was on sale so I gave it a try since I have loved other SkinMedica products. I had previously been using an an exfoliating cleanser from a different brand that is no longer available. I don’t think this product holds a candle to the one I can no longer get. I plan to keep shopping for a cleanser that exfoliates a litter better than this one

I miss the old packaging

I miss the flip top lid used I. The old packaging. Now I have unscrew/screw on a lid in the shower. I believe the formula of the product has not changed just the packaging

Deb55 from CaliforniaVerified Purchase

Not for me

I really wanted to like this cleanser, but by day 3 I had broken out

Danim from Missouri, Age 50-59Verified Purchase

Didn’t work for my sensitive skin

Used this product three times before using a skinceutical serum. Now the skin around my mouth and nose is red, raw and peeling like I’ve been burnt. It’s supposed to be mild enough for sensitive skin so I’m unsure why this happened. It’s the only new product that I introduced to my skin care regime
