Alpha Hydrox Foaming Face Wash 6 fl oz (177 ml)

 
suggested: $8.59

This wonderfully sudsy foaming cleanser gently but thoroughly removes every trace of dirt and makeup to leave skin refreshed and totally clean. It's soap-free, alcohol-free, and pH balanced, which means dry complexions can use it without any fear of stripping natural oils. Yet oily skin can also benefit, since this cool wash doesn't pack any of the pore-clogging moisturizers that can contribute to acne.

I've been using Alpha Hydrox products on and off since I first discovered the label in my early 20's (some umpteen years ago.) It's been hard to find OTC in my area going on a decade now, which accounts for the usually short "off" time in between uses, so I have to order it. That's a bit of a pain but well worth the effort.

Every morning, while in the shower, I wash my face with Alpha Hydrox Foaming Face Wash (a pea-sized drop in your hand, on a face brush, puff or washcloth is enough to do your whole face and neck so one bottle of this product will last you forever!) Sometimes I follow that up with a toner but not always (it depends, but when I do chose to use it, I like using Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner.) Then I tap on an all over eye product (DHC Eye Bright is a good one but so far it has not been made available from this site.) I follow that up with Alpha Hydrox Enhanced Lotion (also a fantastic product.) I finish off with Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock (anything over SPF 30 is a waste of time.) At night I wash my face with AH Foaming Face Wash, maybe use a toner (maybe not), tap on an eye product and finish up with AH Enhanced Lotion. AH also has a fantastic Night Replenishing Cream and Oxygenated Moisturizer .. either of which could be applied at night over the Enhanced Lotion.

I love AH and honestly don't know what I would do without their products!

If asked, the absolute best advice I could give is to 1) Educate yourself, research your products, read labels, and don't be afraid to mix and match, 2) Use SPF year 'round, and 3) Give Alpha Hydrox a chance.

I bought this cleanser because of all the great reviews and recommendation for combination skin. I started using this twice a day along with the oil free lotion in the morning and cream at night. After a week and a half my face started to develop a red bumpy rash all over my forehead and cheeks. I am not sure if it is the cleanser of the lotions but it is drying out my skin and causing an ugly irratation on my skin. I am now going to use it every other day with my cetaphil cream and cleanser and see if the red bumpy rash clears up. I would recommend using this every other day until you can see if your skin is sensetive to it.

    I bought this because it had good reviews. I have a combination skin where gets really oily in the afternoon. I've been managing it pimple-free for a while, but this product helps to keep it clean, balanced, and not too moisturized.

          Comments about Alpha Hydrox Foaming Face Wash, 6 fl oz:

          I'm 30 years old and have ALWAYS had very oily skin full of blackheads. I'd wash and scrub and chemical peel and derm abrasion the heck out of my face, and nothing worked.

          With this product, I've seen a bigger change in my complexion in ONE WEEK than I have in a life time of other products. For the first time ever, the blackheads in my nose and chin are disappearing, and so are my pores. My face isn't oily all day. And the red blood vessels that are typically very near my skin surface and very visible have even started to disappear.

          I'm always nervous about trying new products, especially because I've had such a long period of nothing working for me.

          I wish I know about this product 15 years ago! It's done for me what I never thought possible!

Great line of face & body cleansers & lotions.

                    I am giving this product a fairly high rating, but only because of its moderate to low price tag. I have learned that because a cleanser is on the skin for such a short time, one can expect the same results from almost any facial cleanser. Saving on cleansers that are only on the skin a minute or so will perhaps afford you to be able to use a more expensive line of serums and creams.
