| I'm trying to decide what cleanser to purchase... I know a lot of people like Dr. H. Cleansing Cream. I am hesitant to try it because I tend to like foaming cleansers and typically don't feel "clean" after using creams or milks. I am late 30s with occasional breakouts but my skin would probably be described as more dry, not oily. I've heard something with glycolic acid is best for anti-aging? Any ideas or suggestions? I've also been considering Dermalogica Special Cleanser but I don't think it has the same anti-aging benefits? Thanks!! |

tiffany - I am about the same age as you, my skin is normal (slightly dry), and I like MD Formulations glycolic acid cleanser. It lasted me for 6-8 months when using it once daily, and gave me the feeling of a squeaky clean face. It has been a while since I used it now, but I will buy it again when I have used up my current cleanser.
The top dermatologist Leslie Baumann recommends a glycolic acid cleanser for dry, non-sensitive skin. It helps getting rid of dead skin cells on a daily basis, which will hopefully contribute to better penetration of the active ingredients in serums and creams.
This might not be the best cleanser for those with oily or sensitive skin. |

| I tried the MD products that have 20 and 30% glycolic acid and I was not impressed at all I now use 3% Glycolic wash from Peter Thomas Roth and I would say it is 100% than any of them out there. The higher the percentages does not mean the better the product and if you have dry skin, you want to ease into the glycolic acid because it can dry your skin until it gets used to it. Peter Thomas Roth also has a higher percentage of glycolic acid serum, which I am gong to incorporate myself once I get the new RX that I am using now well adjusted into my routine. |

| I LOVE Jan Marini's Bioglycolic Cleanser. I am also in my thirties. I have combo skin, but more on the dry side. My concerns when I first decided to use the cleanser were to relieve acne and also to address anti-aging. The cleanser has delivered on both. No more breakouts & my skin looks great. |

| I'm looking for a cleanser that is lactic acid based, can anybody recommend one? Just doing a google search I found one cleanser that looked great, but it had 'cones in it, which I'm not too thrilled about. I kind of just want to make my own cleanser that is lactic acid and oat based. I'm such a novice in the arena of DIY skincare though = / |

| I am 41 years old with dehydrated skin that can look like combination skin. I used to feel the need to use cleansers that left that squeaky skin feel. Try using a very warm damp cloth with a milk or cream cleanser to wipe the cleanser off. First, I press the cloth to my face and then wipe gently, but thoroughly. Sometimes, the cleanser residue will leave your skin feeling greasy. I found that once I used a very warm damp cloth helped tremendously in removing the cleanser and I think the warmth preps the skin for moisturizer or whatever. |

| Vivite' has a nice glycolic acid cleanser that doesn't strip the skin. Contains: 15% glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and exfoliating microbeads, so it is a physical/chemical exfoliator. The microbeads are very fine and gentle. |

| Hi Tiffanyw16 nice to see you again! I saw your other post about silicones and I think you might also like the NaturDerm Triple Lavender Face Foam and it is on sale now too! I love it because it is a thick foam, cleanses and tones at once, smells incredible, lasts me for almost 6 months and doesn't leave my skin dry. Oh and it doesn't have any SLS or ALS. It also has pineapple papaya in it and I like the enzymes. I put the link up for you in your other post but in case you don't see it here it is again, I hope that is ok. http://www.greatnewskin.com/index2.html |

| I never got good results with glycolic anything. It was too harsh for my skin - just make sure to start at a low concentration and work your way up. |

Good for you! I am sure you are going to love it.
It is actually not drying at all. My skin feels more moisturized when I use it. I have had to cut back on it, instead of using it everyday I am using it 3x a week since my skin is very oily. But it totally smooths the texture of my skin. |

Thanks. Why couldn't you use it every day? What are you using on the off days (if you don't mind me asking  ) |
