Q: what is difference btw glycolic and salicylic wash in terms of effects, ok for sensitive skin etx?
submitted by Lmh - 3 years ago
A: Hello there! Glycolic Acid is an AHA that gently aids in exfoliating the skins surface (great for texture). Salicylic Acid is a BHA and exfoliates below the skins surface to help clear pores (great for acne prone skin). They’re both pH balanced and can be used by sensitive skin. Always patch test & use sunscreen daily.

Actually works!
I don’t write a ton of reviews, but had to for this wash because it is so amazing! I have struggled for years with acne on my chest and back and this has almost completely cleared my skin up. My skin is so soft and smooth and I truly have this wash to thank!

Repurchasing this. I love how clean I feel and the clean ingredients. I don’t notice a smell when I use it and I typically pair it with another body wash anyway.

TERRIBLE SMELL
I’m not sure why I didn’t smell this product before purchasing as I normally do, I just trusted in the “fragrance free” branding. Massive mistake. This smells like paint stripper. Maybe I have a sensitive nose. But it became 100000x worse once lathered on my body. I felt like I was being gassed in my shower. Zero stars for the smell. However, love the actual function of the wash.

This wash caused painful cysts the size of a quarter and multiple infections, do not use if you have sensitive skin! If I could give zero stars I would!

Does the job
I only tried it once but I don’t think I like it yet. It smells antisepticly. I don’t like the scent of it but it does exfoliates very well. I have to use my Glow Getter to get the scent off my skin.

Works perfectly for both my face and body
I started using this body wash about a year ago, and i'm really grateful for this. my skin is sensitive and eczema prone and i'm also acne prone. most body washes dry out my skin or are doused with fragrances. this one is fragrance free, feels luxurious and thick on the skin, but cleanses really well without over drying or leaving any residue. it also helped minimize my keratosis pilarus. my skin feels super smooth and soft afterwards. I have also noticed I barely have body odour anymore so that's another added bonus. I also use this on my face (the packaging says it's suitable for face wash too) and it removes all my sunscreen, sweat etc. without making my face feel tight. absolutely worth trying!

Not for sensitive skin!
Unfortunately I had a pretty severe reaction to this product. I have used and loved several products from this line however this one did not agree with me and I would not recommend it especially to those with sensitive skin. About 2 days after the first use. I broke out in huge hives from my face/ scalp all the way to my thighs. The majority of which are under my arms and on my torso.

Smooth and clear skin, gentle wash
This was my favorite wash this spring for gently removing and renewing dry winter skin. It helped my skin get super smooth without any harshness, and I always followed up with one of the lotions or body butters to preserve the clear and hydrated skin. A top 3 wash from Naturium for me!

Not effective
I’ve been using this product for over three months and I’ve seen zero improvement with my KP. I also read that this could help with sun discoloration (I have a permanent tan after being burnt last year) but it’s done nothing.
