Ten percent glycolic at pH 2.2 in a cleanser is unusual and I want people to take it seriously. It is a short contact time, which is what makes it workable, but the strength is real. If you have rosacea, active eczema or reactive skin, this is not your cleanser and no amount of building up slowly changes that.

Key actives
| Active | What it does | Why we use it |
|---|---|---|
| Glycolic acid at 10%Glycolic Acid | The smallest alpha hydroxy acid, at 10% and a pH of 2.2, so it works quickly during a short contact. | Small molecule and low pH is what makes a rinse-off product capable of resurfacing at all. |
| Aloe veraAloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder | A soothing botanical that calms and cools during the cleanse. | It is there to take the edge off the acid, and it is why this is tolerable daily for the right skin. |
| Green tea extractCamellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract | A botanical antioxidant that helps defend against environmental stress. | Freshly resurfaced skin is more exposed. An antioxidant in the same step is sensible formulation. |

Common questions
For the right skin, yes. The contact time is short, which is what makes the strength workable. It is not right for sensitive, reactive or rosacea-prone skin, and Glo says so plainly. If you are unsure which you are, ask us rather than finding out.
Once a day at most, up to five times a week. Some people do well on three. Building slowly is sensible. What is not sensible is using it twice a day because once felt fine.
Probably not, and definitely not on the same day at first. If you already use a leave-on acid, alternate the two rather than running both. Two acids daily is how a barrier gets damaged.
It is free of artificial fragrance but not fragrance-free. It carries bergamot fruit oil as a naturally occurring aromatic. If you react to citrus oils, choose a different cleanser.
