Glycolic Acid Cleanser Try: SkinCeuticals Purifying Cleanser, $34
For those with especially sensitive skin, a face wash with glycolic acid is a great place to start, says Hooper. (As much as we love it, it is still an acid and can potentially cause some irritation as your skin gets used to it.) Cleansers typically contain a lower concentration of glycolic acid, plus, it's getting washed off fairly quickly, Hooper adds. Glycolic acid cleansers dissolve dirt, gently exfoliate and help improve skin's radiance and texture. This product from SkinCeuticals has added glycerin to keep your complexion hydrated.
