If you have dry scaly skin at all or are just concerned with aging spots and wrinkles this product is a great addition to a regular peeling regime.

I wash my face with it almost everyday. Works fantastic.

Also I use it on my hair, great for getting build up off hair, great for scalp and as stated, it does leave your hair very soft.

I use this also as a body soap with a scrubby, and on my finger nail and toe nail brushes.

I've heard complaints about the scent, I am super scent allergic and or picky and the scent was no problem for me. It's clean and fresh.

PH Balance 4.5
Glycolic compound 14%

Tip: A flaky scalp can benefit from using Aqua Glycolic® Shampoo & Body Cleanser
two to three times a week, if left on for at least three minutes before rinsing.

Also Aqua Glycolic's toner is an excellent product.

I had high hopes for this shampoo after reading so many positive reviews. I think it might have done good things for my scalp but it kind of wrecked the texture of my hair. It took a couple of weeks of treatments and a hair cut to get it mostly back to normal. Also, the smell? Not so great. Quite overpowering actually and I've used shampoos packed with strong levels of tea tree oil and neem - both of which can be pretty stinky - and they were nothing compared to the chemical smell of this shampoo.

I like this cleanser as I use a lot of products with glycolic acid. I use it as a body cleanser. Don't be scared to use this. It's very mild for those that are used to products containing glycolic acid. For those that are new to this, alternate it with your usual body cleanser to get used to it.

After using this regularly along with my glycolic lotion and vit E lotion, I'm left with smooth and more even toned skin. My only wish is that it had a higher percentage of glycolic acid. Even though it's not made for the face I have used it on my face at the most two times a week as I didn't want to irritate my skin. Overall, this is a great product for those that want clear and smooth skin.
