Effective

Foams up nicely, has a nice subtle scent to it. Makes my skin feel really clean afterwards, but not something that should be used daily, it’s quite strong methinks; like exfoliation.

Tips: Don’t get it in your eyes, ouch!

Great Product but very strong!

I tried and used a full bottle of the glycolic cleanser to try and help my persistent black heads and it worked! But it left my skin feeling quite tight and sensitive (more so than normal) so after I finished the bottle, I never repurchased. I think if you have pretty robust skin, then this would be amazing for you! Just not a product for my skin type

Deep cleanse

My face always feels very clean after using this. I like to use it as my second cleanse after a balm or other oil based cleanser. I use it only a couple of times a week as it is an acid cleanser and I have dry skin. It hasn't dried my skin, but I think if I used it more often it would. My face has become brighter and smoother from using this. An affordable product, (especially as you only need a pea sized amount), I would recommend it.

Would recommend

My only thing with this product is that for the price although not expensive there could be more product and it could have been an all over face and body wash because the feel of the cleanser is great, you very much feel clean, takes a minute to foam but the results are great

Clean amd fabulous skin

I am in love with this product. I initially recieved a trial size that lasted months, so the bigger size will last for quite some time. It tingled on its first use, but after that was really refreshing. I alternate between this and an exfoliator once a fay followed by toner and moisturizer and my skin looks and feels amazing. I'm introducing other products gradually to improve my glow.

Tips: You only need a pea size!!

Worth a try

I think this product is definitely worth a try as all skin types are different. I was using it 2 - 3 times a week but found it dried my skin out so cut back to once a week but still my skin remained dry so it isn’t suitable for me, I’ll be returning to my facial scrub. It’s value for money being a good size bottle and a little goes along way so it’ll last for months. It foams well but you need to be careful to keep it away from your eyes.

This is amazing

Another one of my holy grails. I love this brand and such value for money. I originally recieved a free sample from mecca and love it so much I went out and bought it for myself. This keeps my skin from dryer out, feeling flaking and keep it turning over. Make sure to use SPF as it can make skin sensitive. Have found it has especially helped with my fine lines and skin tone

Tips: This is strong so stick to the 2 to 3 times a week recommended on bottle or you might irritate the skin. Try their glycolic eye cream to go with this - wouldn't be without it.

A easy way to introduce actives

I purchased this cleanser to help my acne prone skin and to help improve the texture of my skin. For those who haven't dabbled in chemical exfoliation this is a great gentle way in which to do it. Unlike using a glycolic serum which stays on the skin this cleanser is only on your skin for a short amount of time thereby being less likely to cause irritation if you are new to actives. Likewise because its not staying on your skin you are not going to see the same benefits as having a higher concentration glycolic acid serum left on your skin as part of your skincare routine. For this reason I probably wouldn't repurchase given that I'm used to actives and my skin can tolerate a more aggressive chemical exfoliation.

Tips: Let it sit on your skin for a minute or so while cleansing to help it do it's thing. By all means keep this out of your eyes (I speak from experience, ouch!)

Gentle and Brightening

I received a small bottle of this cleanser as part of a Mecca Beauty Loop box. I'm a fan of other products by Mario Badescu, and I've recently been getting into more AHA/Glycolic products, so I was excited to try this out. I find Mario Badescu to be affordable compared to other high end brands. I'm not much of a cleanser person (even though I probably should be!) so I like that it recommends that you only use it 2-3 times a week.

It is mildly scented and foams nicely. It feels very soft and gentle on my face and post use, my complexion does look more even and bright. I find that it if I have any dry flaky skin on my face, it doesn't really get rid of it, so I tend to alternate using this with using a fine gritty scrub like Goldfaden MD's Doctors Scrub.

Mario Badescu Glycolic Foaming Cleanser

Bought it as part of an Anti-Ageing Regimen kit. I find this not as strong as a previous Glycolic Acid cleanser which I have to say I liked more. This cleanser however clean ny skin and after a week of using it I can dedinitely see a difference and does not dry out my skin too much. It has a nice clean smell and you really only need a little as a little goes a long way. I use this as my every day cleanser and in the first week I have found though that it did cause a little break out, but that cleared up and I found that the discolouration spots on my skin are lighter end my skin smoother and brighter for sure

Tips: Only use a little bit. Use with the Glycolic Toner as well
