Medix 5.5 Glycolic + Lactic Acid Body Wash

Medix 5.5 Glycolic and Lactic Acid Body Wash — The Skin Perfecting Cleanser

The Medix 5.5 Glycolic and Lactic Acid Body Wash is the essential first step in your body care routine, delivering advanced chemical exfoliation right in the shower.⁷ The brand Medix 5.5 focuses on creating high-efficacy, pH-balanced formulas that restore skin health and radiance.⁸

This daily exfoliating body wash is formulated with a multi-acid complex to achieve three primary skin improvements:

1. Triple-Acid Exfoliation (AHA + BHA): This wash combines two AHAs and one BHA.⁹ Glycolic Acid promotes overall cell turnover and helps unclog surface pores, while Lactic Acid gently softens dry, flaky skin and boosts hydration.¹⁰ The inclusion of Salicylic Acid (BHA) allows the formula to penetrate deeper into hair follicles and pores, actively targeting oil buildup, preventing breakouts, and reducing the appearance of ingrown hairs and body blemishes.¹¹

2. Texture and Radiance Enhancement: By effectively sloughing off the layer of dry, dull skin that builds up on the surface, this cleanser dramatically improves rough texture associated with conditions like Keratosis Pilaris (KP) or “chicken skin.”¹² The resurfacing action reveals newer, fresher skin, significantly enhancing radiance and promoting a more even skin tone.¹³

3. Optimal pH Preparation: The body wash is carefully formulated to an optimal pH of 5.5.¹⁴ This pH level supports the skin’s natural moisture barrier, ensuring the acids work effectively to exfoliate without stripping or irritating the skin.¹⁵ By removing the dry barrier, it preps the skin for maximum absorption and efficacy of subsequent body lotions and serums.¹⁶

The infusion of Peppermint and Eucalyptus essential oils provides an invigorating, refreshing scent that revitalizes the senses, making the Medix 5.5 Glycolic and Lactic Acid Body Wash a powerful and enjoyable daily treatment.¹⁷
