Glycolic + Lactic Acid Body Wash Medix 5.5 Skin Perfecting Glycolic + Lactic Acid Body Wash 444 ml (15 fl oz)

A body wash with acids built into the lather

This wash combines glycolic acid and lactic acid with glycerin, sodium cocoyl glutamate and salicylic acid. A peppermint and eucalyptus oil blend adds a fresh scent.

Smoother-feeling skin in the shower

The brand describes glycolic acid as exfoliating rough textures for smoother-looking skin, and lactic acid as softening and refreshing for a brighter appearance. It lathers over damp skin and rinses clean.

How to use

Before you choose

This is a body wash and is for external use only, so keep it away from the eyes. The label carries a sunburn warning: it contains an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that may increase skin's sensitivity to the sun, so use a sunscreen, wear protective clothing and limit sun exposure while using it and for a week afterwards. If irritation develops, stop using the product. If the product enters the eye, rinse thoroughly with water. If accidentally ingested, contact a doctor. US-market product: packaging and label wording may differ from UK versions.
