Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel, Glycolic + Salicylic Exfoliating Cleanser

Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel is an exfoliating facial wash that removes makeup and oil while chemically refining skin texture with glycolic and salicylic acids.

This lightweight gel cleanser delivers a refreshing, peach-scented cleanse designed to leave skin feeling ultra-clean and renewed. It combines chemical exfoliants with brightening botanicals to help smooth the appearance of fine lines, unclog pores and refine surface texture. Formulated for most skin types (not recommended for very sensitive skin), it emulsifies oils and dissolves daily makeup without heavy residue.

How does this cleanser improve skin texture and reduce the look of pores?

The formula uses two well-known alpha and beta hydroxy acids—glycolic and salicylic—to gently loosen dead skin cells and clear pore congestion. Regular use helps skin appear smoother and more even by encouraging surface cell turnover and clearing impurities that make pores look larger.

• Glycolic acid promotes mild chemical exfoliation for smoother skin
• Salicylic acid penetrates pores to help clear oil and buildup
• Botanical brighteners support a more refined, luminous appearance

Will this cleanser remove makeup and daily sunscreen effectively?

Yes—its emulsifying properties are designed to dissolve makeup, oils and sunscreen without heavy scrubbing. The gel texture rinses clean, helping to prevent residue that can clog pores or dull the complexion.

• Dissolves lightweight makeup and facial SPF
• Emulsifies sebum for easier rinsing and cleaner pores
• Leaves no heavy film, preparing skin for serums and moisturizers

Is this suitable for my skin type and how often should I use it?

The cleanser is formulated for dry, normal, combination, oily and sun-damaged skin, but is not intended for those with very sensitive or compromised skin. Start with once daily—preferably in the evening—or every other day if you’re new to chemical exfoliants, then increase frequency as tolerated.

• Suitable for most non-sensitive skin types
• Begin with infrequent use to assess tolerance
• Pair with broad-spectrum SPF during daytime routines

Who is this for? This anti-aging cleansing gel is for anyone seeking a thorough daily cleanser that also provides mild chemical exfoliation—people concerned with rough texture, visible pores, dullness or the appearance of fine lines. It’s a good option for users who want a dual-action product that cleanses and refines, especially those comfortable using glycolic and salicylic acid in their skincare routine. If your skin is especially reactive, consider consulting a dermatologist or choosing a gentler cleanser.
