Neostrata Resurface Glycolic Wash
Neostrata Resurface Glycolic Wash is a must-have in my skincare regimen. Looking to get your skin ready for the winter? Neostrata Resurface Foaming Glycolic Wash is an excellent exfoliating wash to add to your skincare routine. I use the Glycolic wash twice a day in the morning and in the evening.
What Does It Do?
The exfoliating wash is a must-have if you experience dull skin, rough skin texture, congested pores, uneven skin tone, and fine lines.
This wash is a foam, and comes with a pump. It has a light citrus smell, and spreads quickly on the skin. It does not lather up like most traditional foaming washes do, but it breaks down into liquid and as you massage product into your skin, it gently exfoliates your face for a smooth and clear look.
When I was using the cleanser, I was expecting to feel the usual sting that comes with using glycolic acid products. But this foaming wash surprised me; it is gentle, does not sting, does not dry out the skin, and cleanses the skin without stripping it of its natural oil.
Neostrata Glycolic wash is soap-free. It is a maximum strength foaming cleanser that is formulated with a smart delivery system to provide the benefits of Glycolic Acid and L-bionic Acid.
What is Glycolic Acid And L-Bionic Acid?
Glycolic acid is an AHA and a naturally occurring acid derived from sugarcane. It is the most wildly used skincare product for exfoliating the skin. It helps in the shedding of those dead skin cells, reduces the fine lines, and gets rid of all dark spots.
Lactobionic acid is part of the PHA family and is non-irritating. This patented ingredient is known as “Bionic Acid” and is derived from natural sugars. It helps to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, discoloration, enlarged pores and roughness through gentle exfoliation.
Lactobionic acid is a potent antioxidant that has been shown to target naturally-occurring, skin degrading enzymes to help maintain a youthful look. Lactobionic acid is medically coveted because it is a super powered chelator and humectant, protecting skin and attracting moisture to the delicate barrier for added hydration boosting and comfort. Lactobionic acid is the key choice for very dehydrated, parched and dry skin types.
My Thoughts
I have been using the glycolic wash for 2 weeks and my skin has improved a lot- my skin is smooth, soft, and even-toned. The dark spots on my cheeks have lightened up a lot.
This wash removes the dirt that my skin accumulates thought-out the day, it removes all traces of makeup, cleans deep into my pores and curbs the excess oil production my skin produces as an oily skin girl.
Neostrata Glycolic wash is not as harsh as other aha facial wash, threfore you can use it everyday to wash your face. It does not leave your skin sensitive, as I have experienced sensitivity with other glycolic acid wash.
Overall I am thrilled with Neostrata Resurface Foaming Glycolic Wash.
