Medix 5.5 Glycolic + Lactic Acid Exfoliating Body & Face Wash, 2-Pack — AHA+BHA Gel for Keratosis Pilaris & Smoother Texture

This sulfate-free body and face wash blends glycolic and lactic acids with salicylic acid in a peppermint-eucalyptus scented gel to target dry, bumpy skin while providing a refreshing cleanse. Formulated to be used daily, the formula aims to slough away flaky surface layers, soften keratin build-ups, and clear clogged pores, making it easier for moisturizers and serums to penetrate. The product is vegan, cruelty-free, and free from parabens, sulfates, and many common irritants.

How does this wash improve texture and reduce bumps?

The AHA combination (glycolic + lactic) works on the skin surface to gently loosen the bonds between dead cells, while salicylic acid (BHA) penetrates pores to address trapped oil and debris. Regular use helps smooth rough patches and reduce the appearance of keratosis pilaris-like bumps without harsh physical scrubbing.

• Glycolic acid exfoliates surface layers to reveal fresher skin.
• Lactic acid hydrates while encouraging cell turnover.
• Salicylic acid helps clear follicular blockages and ingrown hairs.
• Sulfate-free foaming system cleans without over-stripping.

Can I use it on both my face and body safely?

This gel is formulated for multi-use on face and body, suitable for areas with rough texture, breakouts, or clogged pores. Because it contains active acids, start with a patch test and introduce gradually if you have sensitive skin or are new to chemical exfoliants.

• Works on chest, back, arms, and legs, plus gentle enough for facial cleansing for most skin types.
• Recommended to avoid broken or extremely irritated skin.
• Follow with moisturizer and daily SPF when used on sun-exposed areas.
• Can be used daily as tolerated; reduce frequency if dryness or irritation occurs.

What practical benefits will I notice after using it regularly?

With consistent use you can expect smoother skin texture, fewer rough patches, and improved skin tone uniformity as dead surface cells are sloughed away. The formulation also helps other topical products absorb more effectively, so lotions and serums perform better after exfoliation.

• Softer-feeling skin and reduced roughness.
• Fewer visible clogged pores and ingrown hairs.
• Improved effectiveness of follow-up body creams and treatments.
• Refreshing peppermint-eucalyptus scent for a clean finish.

Who is this for? This exfoliating wash is intended for people seeking to improve rough, bumpy, or congested skin on the body and face—especially those dealing with keratinized bumps, persistent dry patches, or post-acne texture. It suits most skin types when used thoughtfully: people with normal to oily or combination skin will likely tolerate daily use best, while those with sensitive or very dry skin should introduce it slowly and pair it with hydrating products. If you have a history of extreme sensitivity or eczema, consult a dermatologist before introducing daily chemical exfoliants. Packaged as a two-count bundle, it’s convenient for regular use or travel rotation.
