NeoStrataResurface Foaming Glycolic Wash 125ml

I started too heavy handed with this. I was ignorant of the sheer potency of it... Even having read the reviews saying exactly that. I was merrily using it twice daily, & following it by using a rather strong salicylic acid blemish gel. Foolish move. Even my ridiculously oily skin, became scaly within days of starting it.It took nigh on a week to get back to normal, having stopped it. I restarted, only using it once a day, & following it with a moisturiser instead. That appears to have been the right move to make.I haven't seen any positive effect on my skin as yet, but that's likely more due to the fact, that I'm still in the 'gotta get worse before it can get better' stage. I take it as a good sign though, that it can bring a blemish up to a head pretty much instantly (happened with 2 which were nowhere near, on my very 1st use), so it can just be got rid of. Highly recommend this, just be careful when starting use, & remember... It has to dredge the lower levels of your skin, & bring everything 'up & out' before it can clear. Just give it some time, ride out the 'worse than ever' phase, & I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

This stuff is great keeping spots away. Only thing, shaving and then using this. Absolute agony. You have been warned!

Bought this with the intention of using it on my entire face. My skin is not particularly sensitive and its normal (not dry or oily).Anyway I'd read glycolic acid is great for the pores, removing blackheads and general complexion. I should have researched more - because you typically have to build up your skins tolerance to glycolic acid.I went straight in and bought this 18% formula. First few days it was great (once daily use), then I got this crazy rash on my cheeks and white pimples everywhere. I thought it might be my skin purging (all the gunk coming out) but it got redder and itchier and the white spots went away but the rash didn't. Stopped using and let skin rest and clear up.Started using it again after two weeks on just my nose and chin, the skin is much more robust in those places and it handles the acid well. Blackheads are no longer existent, pretty amazing.Have bought a lesser percentage glycolic acid foam wash for the rest of my face.Would recommend this product if you are used to glycolic acid. If not, try using a lesser percentage or only use this on nose and chin like me.

Very kind nice people to deal with as a company. I will use nothing else from anyone else. I have referred my patients to this company with confidence. Apply Foaming Glycolic wash one pump or two...thats enough..then Vit c serum, then NeoStrata Glycolic lotion...dont stress if it tingles or stings...its working. Your skin contains this acid...so its good for it...it will smoothe your skin out and keep you looking younger. This is the real product, not the stuff sold in the high street with fancy labels boasting...'contains glycolic acid' I need to warn you...if the next day you come out with tons of white heads and you want to faint...dont panic...OK do not think you are having a bad reaction...this is a GOOD reaction, this is getting rid of the rubbish in your skin...before long you will look lovely. Like all good products is is a daily routine, not an overnight miracle. After the lotion you can use a good moisturizer and then use a good quality sunblock...even in winter. This is particularly for the over 30s...I wish you all beautiful skin.

This is powerful stuff. Start by using once a day. A few days in, your skin might get red and itchy - especially around the eyes and lips; good way to avoid this is to moisturise those areas before using the wash. When the outer skin layer starts giving way, use good face peel/microdermabrasive cream to get rid of the dead cells. Once your skin gets used to the glycolic acid, you'll find that using this product makes it clearer and smoother. Highly recommended for people with a blackhead problem.

Bought 1.5yrs ago not really know much about skin care (still don't feel I know that much but still). This product comes with great instructions, just use once or twice a week, I bought a cheaper little face scrubber to apply this with and really works well to dry up spots when I have a breakout. Works well with scrubber/former applicator/exfoliant applicator etc. The first bottle lasted me over a year

This is a product I use for years now. I love it. It was recommended to me by a dermatologist. Whenever I don't use it, my skin starts to break, and I see pimples.For cleaning, it's amazing.

This did not work for me. I stopped using it after two applications as my face flared up with so many spots and redness which lasted almost two weeks. It was very painful so will not use this product again.
