GlyMed Idyllic Cleanser with 3% Mandelic Acid
✨ Mandelic Magic Cleanse
Mandelic acid is the true star of this cleanser, and for good reason. This gentle exfoliating cleanser helps smooth rough texture, brighten dull skin, and refine the look of pores while keeping your complexion feeling fresh and balanced. It's one of my favorite second cleanses because it treats your skin while you cleanse, making it the perfect prep step before the rest of your skincare routine. After all... every little bit of skincare magic starts with the right ingredients. 🪄✨

❖ What Makes This Magical ⌄
✨ What Makes This Magical?
Unlike stronger exfoliating acids, mandelic acid has a larger molecular size, allowing it to work more gradually while still delivering beautiful brightening and smoothing results. Combined with soothing botanicals and hydrating ingredients, this cleanser offers gentle daily exfoliation that helps reveal a healthier-looking complexion without leaving skin feeling stripped.
❖ How To Use ⌄
🧴 How to Use
Massage onto damp skin, avoiding the eye area. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Begin by using once daily, then increase as tolerated. Because this is a treatment cleanser, it's best used after makeup has already been removed if double cleansing.
❖ Estie Pro Tip ⌄
🧚♀️ Estie Pro Tip
This is one of my favorite second cleansers when your skin is feeling a little dull, rough, or congested. Follow with your favorite treatment serum while skin is freshly cleansed to make the most of your skincare routine. And don't forget your daily SPF—any exfoliating routine deserves a little extra sun protection! ☀️

❖ FAQ ⌄
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this cleanser every day?
Yes! This cleanser was formulated for daily use. If you're new to exfoliating acids or have sensitive skin, start once daily and gradually increase as your skin adjusts.
Is this a first or second cleanser?
I recommend it as a second cleanse after removing makeup. That allows the mandelic acid to focus on treating your skin instead of breaking down makeup.
What makes mandelic acid different?
Mandelic acid works more gently than many other exfoliating acids thanks to its larger molecular size. It's a wonderful option if you want smoother, brighter skin with a more gradual approach to exfoliation.
