GlyMed Glycolic Facial Cleanser with 10% Glycolic Acid - Trial Size

The GlyMed Glycolic Facial Cleanser is a paraben free cleanser with 10% glycolic acid. GlyMed says it jump starts skin cells by promoting desquamation (natural shedding), which enhances the penetration of the products you apply afterwards. Glycolic acid helps combat ageing, improve breakouts and lighten and brighten the skin. This trial size is 3.69 mL (0.125 oz), enough to test it.

GlyMed describes it as gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin, while still delivering exfoliation and anti-ageing benefits. It suits anyone with dullness, uneven tone, breakouts or early signs of ageing. That said, 10% glycolic acid is an active, so if your skin is very reactive or you are recovering from a peel, start with a small trial like this and watch how it responds.

GlyMed does not include step by step directions here, so follow the carton. The usual approach for a glycolic cleanser is to massage a small amount onto damp skin, avoiding the eye area, then rinse well with lukewarm water. Start with once a day, in the evening, and build to morning and evening if your skin stays comfortable. Follow with sunscreen in the morning.

At 3.69 mL, the trial size gives you a few cleanses, enough to judge the feel and whether your skin likes it rather than to see full results. Brighter, smoother skin from glycolic exfoliation builds over several weeks of consistent use with the full size. GlyMed gives no fixed timeline, so think of the trial as a compatibility test.

Because it enhances penetration of what follows, pair it with a hydrating serum or antioxidant product afterwards and a daily sunscreen such as the GlyMed Hydrating Protection Gel with SPF 30 Trial Size. The GlyMed Restoring Fulvic Elixir Trial Size is a natural next step, and the GlyMed Mega Cream Cleanser Trial Size can serve as a first cleanse to remove makeup.

Avoid using it the same day as other exfoliating acids, scrubs or peels, including the GlyMed Anti-Aging Exfoliant Masque, to prevent over exfoliation. If you use retinol at night, cleanse with it in the morning instead, or alternate days. Patch test first, keep it away from the eyes, and always wear sunscreen, as exfoliated skin is more sun sensitive.

The Glycolic Facial Cleanser is an exfoliating active cleanser with 10% glycolic acid that brightens and preps skin for other products. The GlyMed Mega Cream Cleanser is an ultra gentle creamy cleanser that dissolves makeup, oil and debris with age defying antioxidants, and is safe for lash extensions. Many people use the cream cleanser first and the glycolic cleanser second.
