SkinMedica AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser 6 oz

This does two kinds of exfoliation at once. Alpha hydroxy acids and salicylic acid dissolve the bonds holding dull cells at the surface, while ultra-fine jojoba spheres provide gentle physical polish. Bilberry and licorice extracts work on discoloration over time, and mild citrus oils act as an astringent so pores look smaller. The result is smoother texture and better light reflection, which reads as radiance. It is a cleanser, so contact time is short and it stays tolerable for most skin, but it is not an every-wash product for everyone. Start three or four times a week and adjust. Avoid the eye area. AHAs raise sun sensitivity, so daily SPF is required while using it.
