1. SkinCeuticals Glycolic Renewal Cleanser 150ml 

DESCRIPTION

'A glow-boosting cleanser that transforms your regular face wash into the first step of your resurfacing ritual'

The glycolic renewal cleanser is a high concentration, soft-foaming gel face wash that is designed to exfoliate the skin. Formulated with 8% glycolic acid, it is combined with 1% phytic acid, aloe leaf juice, and glycerin, this cleanser helps effectively cleanse impurities without completely stripping your skin of moisture. It buffs away dulling surface cells while cleansing and leaving the skin looking fresher, smoother and more radiant. Think polished skin in a bottle: a daily exfoliating cleanse designed to dissolve the look of dullness and congestion without leaving skin feeling stripped. The result is that coveted lit-from-within, just-had-a-facial glow - with a smoother-feeling texture to match. It is most effective on dull, ageing and dehydrated skin.
