SkinCeuticals **Glycolic Renewal Cleanser** is an exfoliating cleanser formulated around two acids: **glycolic acid** (AHA) and **salicylic acid** (BHA). Glycolic acid, with its small molecular size, acts by dissolving the bonds between corneocytes to promote cell renewal and refine skin texture; salicylic acid, which is fat-soluble, penetrates pores to dislodge impurities and accumulated sebum. Glycerine** and Aloe barbadensis leaf juice** provide a moisturizing and soothing component, limiting the potential drying effect of acids. The detergent system is based on gentle surfactants of plant origin (**coco-glucoside**, **sodium methyl cocoyl taurate**, **coconut acid**), suitable for daily use without excessively altering the hydrolipidic film. Phytic acid** contributes to a light antioxidant and chelating action, while Cymbopogon schoenanthus oil** and Boswellia serrata resin** provide minor soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. This product is suitable for skin that tends to be oily, combination or prone to texture irregularities and dilated pores. It is not recommended for very sensitive, reactive skin or skin with an impaired barrier, due to the combined presence of two exfoliating acids.
