Mario Badescu Glycolic Foaming Cleanser for All Skin Types| Exfoliating Face Wash with Glycolic Acid & Aloe Vera| Visibly Evens Skin Tone & Texture

Been using for a week, every other day as recommended. My skin has already improved so much in that short of time. Smoother, tighter, and overall glow. I've had great results with glycolic face wash in the past, but with a MUCH pricier brand, so didn't quite know what to expect. I'm happy I took a chance with this! I'll be buying other items from their line now!

I will never use a different skin care line again. I bought the glycolic foaming cleanser, the cucumber cleansing lotion (Its like an astringent but way more gentle), their whitening mask, their cucumber cleansing mask, and their vitamin c serum as well as their aloe moisturizer. In one week of using this new routine, my face has improved in ways I never thought it could. The glycolic foaming cleanser is gentle, yet very effective at washing away the excess oils, dirt, and makeup while leaving my skin soft and plump. Full of moisture, no drying. On Monday mornings, its just the glycolic cleanser and the aloe lotion (SPF 15 I I believe?) But on Monday nights, after using the cleanser and the cucumber toner, I use the whitening mask. It helps lighten the acne scars on my face and even out my skin tone. Then after washing it off, the aloe lotion is perfect for moisturizing. A little goes a long way. At first your face will seem a little greasy, but give it a moment and it absorbs into the skin. Tuesday mornings, same as Monday mornings, but at night, its the cleanser, toner, and the vitamin c serum. No aloe lotion needed. Wednesday mornings, the same, but for the evening, I use the cleanser, toner, cucumber mask, and aloe lotion. Just amazing. Thursday mornings, the same as the other mornings, but in the evening its a repeat of Monday's evening routine. Friday, same in morning, repeat of Tuesday's routine. Saturday morning, same morning routine, repeat of Wednesday's evening routine. However, on Sunday, the morning routine will be the same as the evening routine. I saw dramatic positive changes in my face and will soon add photos of before and after. WORTH EVERY PENNY!

Lathers well, keeps my skin balanced and healthy, and it has a pleasant lemon scent.

It really works. My pores are clear, I feel the glycolic acid working while im cleansing. I follow this up with Paula's choice BHA, 20% niacinimide serum, peptide serum, and castor oil on my potential problem areas at night alongside at home microneedling treatments with exosomes. My skin has NEVER looked better It looks absolutely flawless. I have found my cleanser and this will be my go to.

I bought this cleanser and then read the reviews and was really afraid I received a cleanser that I had just wasted money on. I read the ingredients on the back of the bottle and compared them to the ingredients on Mario Badescu's website and they are the same ingredients, just listed in a different order. I have been using this cleanser every 3 days and I absolutely love it. I massage the cleanser into my face until it stops foaming then rinse. My skin feels so soft and brightened. It has even helped to clear some of the stubborn acne on my chin from wearing a face mask all day. In fact this is why I bought the cleanser in the first place. I have been a Differin user for many years and I love it, however I was still having breakouts with the mask. I do use the cleanser and then put the Differin on. I do realize that you aren't supposed to do that but I don't think there is enough glycolic acid to in the cleanser to cause a bad reaction with using Differin. While I would purchase this product again because it does work, I was so disappointed to learn that it was fake. I will most likely purchase from Ulta or Mario Badescu directly.

This is my go to Glycolic product. I have tried others, like the glycolic toner, but haven’t gotten the same results as this. I enjoy the packaging of this product and it’s not something I see often in others. I can’t say I’d enjoy it as much if it came with a pump or in a tube. The bottle is clear so you can see when it’s nearing empty. The best part is that when it’s almost gone you can just screw off the top and thump out the last of the product. This ensures you get everything you paid for! The appearance once dispensed is a clear jelly like substance that dissipates and becomes sudsy once emulsified. The scent is light and not overwhelming. I haven’t experienced any irritation when using the product in accordance with the manufacturer instructions. I have very oily skin, so that could play a role in that as well. I also found it to remove makeup pretty effectively as well. This product has reduced the appearance of acne scars on my skin, and it has also made my face noticeably softer. This facial wash is very easy to use both on the face and body. I have used it on my scalp too. Definitely a must have for me.

I’ve been using this cleanser for my face every day for around 6 years now. It’s one of the only cleansers I’ve found that works for my acne prone skin. I have large pores and this cleanses them so well and helps my skin stay nice and soft and not oily. Great for oily skin
