Medix 5.5 Glycolic & Lactic AHA Face + Body Wash with Retinol Moisturizing Cream — 2‑Piece Set for Smoother, Even Skin

MEDIX 5.5 2-piece set pairs an AHA-rich glycolic and lactic acid foaming cleanser with a retinol moisturizing body cream to exfoliate, refine texture, and hydrate skin for a smoother, more even appearance.

Built for head-to-toe skin renewal, this duo combines a resurfacing face and body wash with a vitamin A–infused lotion. The cleanser uses alpha hydroxy acids plus mild surfactants to lift away dead skin cells and soften rough patches, while the Retinol Age Rewind body cream delivers moisturizing emollients and antioxidants to support the look of firmer, more even skin. Both products are formulated without common irritants and are cruelty-free, vegan, and manufactured in the United States.

How does the cleanser improve rough or bumpy skin?

The foaming cleanser uses glycolic and lactic acids to gently loosen and remove surface dead skin, improving texture and helping to reduce the appearance of bumps. A balanced surfactant blend cleans without overstripping to keep skin comfortable after rinsing.

• Alpha hydroxy acids (glycolic + lactic) promote surface exfoliation
• Salicylic and citric acids assist in unclogging pores and smoothing
• Peppermint and eucalyptus add a refreshing scent while cleansing
• Humectants and mild surfactants prevent excessive drying

What benefits does the retinol body cream offer in a daily routine?

The Retinol Age Rewind lotion delivers vitamin A to the skin with moisturizing agents and antioxidants to support a more refined look over time. It helps skin feel smoother and look more even when used consistently after cleansing.

• Retinol (vitamin A) supports visible texture improvement
• Moisturizing emollients help replenish and soften skin
• Antioxidant-rich botanicals support overall skin radiance
• Suitable for body areas prone to crepey or sun-affected skin

Can I use both products together and how often should I apply them?

Yes — use the glycolic/lactic acid wash in the shower 2–4 times weekly depending on tolerance, and apply the retinol body cream once daily, ideally at night when skin is calm. If you’re new to acids or retinol, start more slowly to assess how your skin responds.

• Begin with cleanser use 2x weekly, increase as tolerated
• Apply retinol cream nightly or every other night to tested areas
• Use sunscreen daily when using exfoliating acids or retinol
• Adjust frequency for sensitive or reactive skin

Is this formulation safe for sensitive skin or fragranced product seekers?

The set omits harsh additives like sulfates, parabens, drying alcohols, and animal-derived ingredients and is allergy- and dermatologist-tested. However, the cleanser has a peppermint and eucalyptus scent and both actives (AHAs and retinol) can cause temporary sensitivity for some users.

• Cruelty-free, vegan, gluten-free, and free from many common irritants
• Clinically and allergy-tested to support broader tolerability
• Fragrance present in the cleanser—patch test if you have fragrance sensitivity
• Introduce actives gradually to minimize irritation

Who is this for: This two-piece kit is made for people who want an at-home regimen to exfoliate dull, rough or bumpy skin and to follow with a retinol-powered moisturizer for firmer-looking body skin. It suits those who tolerate AHAs and retinol, prefer clean formulations without common toxins, and want a practical pairing for head-to-toe textural improvement. If you are pregnant, nursing, or have specific skin conditions, consult a healthcare professional before beginning retinol or acid-based products.
