Alpha Refreshing Face Wash — Gentle Soap-Free Citric AHA Cleanser, 6 oz, Hydrating & Anti-Aging

Alpha Refreshing Face Wash is a soap-free, citric AHA cleanser that gently removes makeup, oil, and surface impurities while helping to rebalance skin's pH for a smoother, more refreshed look.

This gentle face wash from Alpha combines Citric Alpha Hydroxy Acid with vitamins and anti-aging ingredients to cleanse without stripping. It’s formulated to lift away dirt, excess sebum, and light makeup while supporting visible pore refinement and a balanced skin surface. The non-foaming, soap-free texture is designed for daily morning and evening use and pairs easily with other Alpha Skin Care products.

How does this wash remove makeup and oil without drying skin?

The formula avoids harsh soaps and heavy detergents, relying on citric AHA and surfactants that lift impurities while maintaining moisture. It’s intended to cleanse the skin surface without aggressive foaming that can strip natural lipids.

• Soap-free base reduces dryness and tightness after cleansing
• Citric AHA helps dissolve residual makeup and surface oils
• Vitamins and nutrients help maintain hydrated feel post-rinse

Will this help make pores look smaller or skin appear brighter?

The gentle exfoliating action of citric AHA helps loosen dead skin cells and surface buildup, which can make pores look cleaner and skin tone appear more even. Results are visible with consistent use but are subtle and progressive rather than instant transformations.

• Light chemical exfoliation promotes clearer skin texture
• Removes impurities that can accentuate pore appearance
• Regular use supports a more luminous, less congested complexion

How should I use it in my daily skincare routine?

Use morning and evening with warm water for a quick, effective cleanse. Apply to face and neck with gentle massage, rinse thoroughly, then follow with your preferred Alpha Serum or moisturizer to lock in benefits.

• Apply to damp skin, massage for 20–30 seconds, rinse clean
• Follow with toner, serum, or moisturizer from your routine
• Use consistently for best visible improvements

Is this suitable for sensitive or mature skin?

The product is formulated to be gentle and soap-free, which can be more tolerable for sensitive and mature skin than harsher cleansers. Patch testing is recommended if you have known sensitivities to AHAs or active ingredients.

• Non-irritating soap-free formulation reduces potential dryness
• Anti-aging ingredients and vitamins support mature skin needs
• If sensitivity occurs, discontinue and consult a dermatologist

Who this is for: Alpha Refreshing Face Wash is suited for anyone seeking a daily cleanser that balances cleansing power with gentle care—people who wear light makeup, have normal to combination skin, want milder AHA exfoliation, or prefer a routine that supports anti-aging maintenance. Those with very sensitive or AHA-reactive skin should test first or consult a skin professional. Use morning and evening, and layer with Alpha Skin Care serums or moisturizers for a complete regimen.
