Naturium The Smoother Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Wash - 500ml

Yes, `Naturium The Smoother Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Wash` is developed to be appropriate for daily use on both the body and face, for all skin types. However, if you experience any sensitivity, reduce usage frequency.

It is formulated to be skin compatible and dermatologist-tested. However, due to its active exfoliating acids, individuals with very sensitive skin should perform a patch test on a small area before full application to ensure no adverse reaction.

Yes, this multi-use cleanser can also be used as a facial cleanser. Apply a small amount to a damp face, lather, and rinse thoroughly, carefully avoiding the eye area. Start with less frequent use (e.g., 2-3 times a week) for facial application.

AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) like glycolic, lactic, pyruvic, and tartaric acids are chemical exfoliants. They work by gently dissolving the 'glue' that holds dead skin cells together, allowing them to slough off and revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath. They are included to effectively improve skin texture.

Naturium formulates most of its skincare products without synthetic fragrances to minimize potential irritation, making them suitable for sensitive skin types. This product is generally considered synthetic fragrance-free.

Info needed: Products containing AHAs can increase sun sensitivity. It is generally recommended to use sunscreen daily on any exposed skin when using exfoliating products, and to limit sun exposure, especially after application.

This can sometimes occur with exfoliating products. To mitigate, reduce the frequency of use (e.g., every other day), ensure you are rinsing thoroughly, and always apply a rich, hydrating body lotion or cream immediately after showering.

A mild tingling sensation can be normal when using active exfoliating ingredients like AHAs. If redness is slight or tingling is minor and temporary, continue use at a reduced frequency. If persistent, severe, or accompanied by itching/burning, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist. Perform a patch test before reintroduction.

Exfoliating products require consistent, regular use to show significant improvements. Allow several weeks of daily or every-other-day application for visible changes in skin texture. Ensure you are massaging the product into affected areas to maximize contact.

If using as a facial cleanser, ensure you are starting slowly (2-3 times a week) and listening to your skin. If breakouts or sensitivity persist, discontinue facial use and continue on the body only. Ensure you are avoiding the eye area.
