Bubbles

I have been searching for a cleanser that will suds up and actually feel like it is cleaning my face and boy does this one bubble! My face feels squeaky clean after washing! It is suitable for everyday and I love the brightening effect I see when my face is clean.

GlyMed Plus Idyllic Cleanser with 3% Mandelic Acid

What it is: A gentle acid-infused cleanser featuring 3% mandelic acid, an AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) known for being milder and more tolerable than glycolic acid. How it performs: This cleanser effectively lifts surface dead skin and smooths texture without heavy irritation. Mandelic acid’s larger molecular size means slower penetration—so you get exfoliation with lower risk of redness or dryness, making it a great option for sensitive or reactive skin types. Texture/Sensation: Light, smooth cream-to-lather. You feel a soft, gentle exfoliation rather than a harsh “burn.” Doesn’t strip the skin when rinsed properly. Best for: Those who want gentle chemical exfoliation in a daily or every-other-day cleanser, especially if you’re sensitive to stronger acids. Also great as part of a cleanser rotation plan (stronger cleansers spaced out with gentler ones in between). Minor downside: Because it’s mild, if you need aggressive acne or sebum control it may feel a bit too soft on its own.

Worth it!!

I have struggled with acne for as long as I can remember and have tried more products than I would like to admit. This stuff is amazing and my skin has never looked this good.

Gentle

I’m pleasantly surprised by how gentle this cleanser is even on sensitive acne skin! I’m pregnant and have such bad hormonal acne and gave this a shot. It’s too early to tell if it’s making a difference but I do know it leaves my skin feeling clean without feeling tight. Would repurchase!

Game Changer

This has been a game changer for my skin. I have hormonal acne and very clog prone. This is gentle enough for daily use and I notice a huge difference in the smoothness of my skin and improved acne/pores.

Cleansing away my sorrows

This cleanser is amazing! I've been using it for about 2 months now & I've seen a noticeable change in my skin- the texture I had has gone away and my acne scars have slowly started fading with the exception of the really old ones I've had that are hard to get rid of, but even those have improved. I have very sensitive skin & this has never irritated me, I use it at night when I double cleans with an oil cleanser & I follow up with toner pads. Overall I would say this product does a good job with gentle exfoliating and cleansing the skin! I will be repurchasing when I run out :)

Amazing Face Wash

You can’t go wrong when mandelic is in the formula. It does what it says without oversetting your skin. I love the brightening effect. I use this as my final cleanse in my regimen.

Recommended by Esthetician

Switched to this from a Skinceuticals cleanser per recommendation from my Esthetician and it is great for acne/clogged pores and sensitive skin. I have rosacea and it doesn’t irritate me. The other review mentioned it is drying which I agree, but if you follow it with a proper serum and moisturizer and you won’t have issues. I follow this with fulvic serum and comfort cream by glymed

very drying

very drying, super harsh on the skin. I was only using it at night, and it injured the skin on my neck

Great Cleanser

I really like this cleanser. It does make my face feel nice and clean. However, it does leave my face feeling a little too dry.

Life changing

I didn’t know what to expect with this cleanser, but it exceeded any expectation I had. I’ve been struggling with acne on my chin area for a while now and about a week after using this cleanser I noticed a huge difference in my skin. It keeps breakouts at bay while making my skin so much brighter with less visible scarring. This cleanser has given me a huge confidence boost I’ve needed for a long time. This is my first GlyMed product but will continue to repurchase from this brand from now on
