"I recommend the GlyMed Exfoliating Cleanser for clients dealing with non-inflamed blackheads and congestion. It contains 2% salicylic acid, which helps clear inside the pores and keep them from becoming clogged. The beads also help open the pores and loosen buildup so congestion can clear more easily. I added different usage recommendations in the FAQ depending on the situation. <3"

Supports Clearer Skin Function

Salicylic acid penetrates into the pore to dissolve oil and debris that contribute to breakouts and congestion. At the same time, gentle exfoliating beads help remove surface buildup that can block pores and slow healthy cell turnover. Together, these actions support clearer pores and healthier skin renewal.

Salicylic Acid (2%)

Penetrates pores to dissolve oil, clear congestion, and help reduce acne breakouts.

Aloe Vera

Helps soothe the skin and support hydration while calming irritation.

Exfoliating Beads

Provide gentle physical exfoliation to remove surface buildup and improve texture.

Improves Texture and Skin Clarity

Regular use helps refine uneven texture caused by acne, oil buildup, and sluggish cell turnover. By clearing both surface buildup and pore congestion, the skin gradually appears smoother, brighter, and more balanced. Many people notice that their skin feels fresher and looks clearer as excess oil and impurities are reduced.

Ideal For Oily and Congestion-Prone Skin

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this cleanser best for?

This cleanser is best suited for oily, combination, and acne-prone (non-inflamed) skin types that experience clogged pores, blackheads, or recurring breakouts. The salicylic acid helps clear congestion inside the pore, while the exfoliating beads remove surface buildup. Together, they support clearer pores and more balanced skin.

Can this cleanser help with blackheads and clogged pores?

Yes. Salicylic acid is oil-soluble, which allows it to penetrate into the pore and dissolve the oil and debris that contribute to blackheads and congestion. When combined with gentle surface exfoliation, the cleanser helps keep pores clearer and reduces buildup that can lead to breakouts.

How should I start using the GlyMed Plus Exfoliating Cleanser?

Start slowly to see how your skin responds. For many oily or acne-prone skin types it can be used daily, but if your skin is sensitive, new to exfoliating cleansers, or you’re already using other active ingredients, it’s best to begin every other day or a few times per week. Increase frequency only if your skin tolerates it well.

Can I use GlyMed Plus Exfoliating Cleanser with other acne treatments?

Yes, but balance is important. Because this cleanser already contains salicylic acid and exfoliating beads, pairing it with strong exfoliating acids or benzoyl peroxide at the same time may cause barrier disturbance. Many people prefer using this cleanser once daily and alternating stronger acne treatments in the evening.

Will this cleanser dry out my skin?

When used appropriately for your skin type, it should not dry out the skin. Ingredients like aloe vera and glycerin help support hydration and comfort while the cleanser removes oil and impurities. If dryness occurs, reduce the frequency and make sure your routine includes a supportive moisturizer.
