Skin Care Review: Reviva Glycolic Acid Facial Cleanser

Rating
No effect

Benefits
soap-free and oil-free cleanser

Drawbacks
face didn't feel cleansed, but did feel tight & dry

Details
I purchased this in the quest for moister, more radiant skin and a lessening of fine lines. The product mentions "unusual silkiness" as one of the benefits. I have used glycolic acid before and was looking for similar results without as much irritation. The lotion is to be applied to wet skin, massaged into the skin for 1-2 minutes, left on for another minute and then rinsed off. When I did this, my skin didn't feel cleansed, but rather tight and like there was a film on it. I also developed some skin redness and sensitivity on my cheeks and chin after 2 weeks of use. There are no instructions about limiting use. Although glycolic acid is part of the name of the lotion, that particular ingredient is way down on the list of ingredients.

Conclusions
I don't recommend this product basied on my results.
