About GlyMed Idyllic Cleanser
The Idyllic cleanser is my go-to cleanser for every skin type. It's truly my favorite!
The GlyMed Idyllic Cleanser with 3% Mandelic Acid is a gentle yet effective mandelic acid cleanser that works for everyone. This mild-active gel cleanser exfoliates, controls acne-causing bacteria, and brightens your skin without irritation. Perfect for daily use on all skin types (including sensitive skin), skin tones, and acne grades.
The GlyMed Idyllic Cleanser with Mandelic Acid also provides both anti-aging and gentle exfoliation benefits in one step: the 3% mandelic acid gently removes dead skin cells and keeps pores clear, while chamomile and green tea extracts in the cleanser soothe and calm redness.
It's ideal for mild to moderate skin concerns and prepares your skin to better absorb your serums and treatments.
