Marini Skin Solutions - Bioglycolic Face Cleanser

Marini Skin Solutions Bioglycolic Face Cleanser is a soap-free, non-irritating cream cleanser with glycolic acid that rinses completely, removing the need for a post-cleansing toner or astringent.

The glycolic acid acts as a follicular cleansing agent, clearing the pore openings so that the products applied afterwards absorb more effectively. That is the main reason it appears at the start of so many medical skincare regimens: it improves everything that follows.

It also contains sorbitol, a natural humectant derived from berries, which leaves the skin soft and hydrated rather than tight. It offers deep cleansing in a non-irritating cream base.

1. Apply to dry skin rather than wet. This is deliberate and gives the glycolic acid better contact.
2. Massage over the face and neck for 30 to 60 seconds.
3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.
4. Use morning and evening, or evening only if your skin runs dry.

No toner or astringent is needed afterwards. If you also use a glycolic treatment product, this cleanser plus that treatment is enough exfoliation; do not add a third.

Glycolic Acid: acts as a follicular cleansing agent, clearing pore openings and preparing the skin for better absorption of subsequent products.

Sorbitol: a natural humectant derived from berries that leaves skin soft and hydrated after rinsing.

Soap-Free Cream Base: cleanses deeply without the pH disruption or stripping caused by soap.

• Gentle, soap-free, non-irritating cleansing with glycolic acid.
• Rinses completely without the need for a toner or astringent.
• Prepares the skin so subsequent products absorb more effectively.
• Sorbitol leaves the skin soft and hydrated rather than tight.
• Deep cleansing in a non-irritating cream base.
• Suits normal, combination, and oily skin.

The instruction to apply to dry skin rather than wet is not a typo, and it is the step patients most often get wrong. Applying to dry skin gives the glycolic acid better contact before dilution, which is the point of a glycolic cleanser.

Our providers use it as the opening step of a medical regimen because it improves the performance of everything applied afterwards. Removing the toner step is also a genuine simplification.

The caution is exfoliation load. If you use this twice daily plus a glycolic treatment plus peel pads, that is too much for most skin. If you are dry, sensitive, or using a retinoid, once daily is enough. No consultation is needed to buy it. If you would like help deciding where it fits your routine, our team is on (650) 508-6565.
