Active Ingredients in Medix 5.5 Glycolic + Lactic Acid Body Wash

• Glycolic Acid (Alpha Hydroxy Acid - AHA): A small-molecule acid that penetrates deeply to dissolve the bonds holding dead skin cells together, promoting cellular turnover.
• Lactic Acid (Alpha Hydroxy Acid - AHA): A gentle exfoliating acid that breaks down dead skin while acting as a natural humectant to draw moisture into the skin.
• Salicylic Acid (Beta Hydroxy Acid - BHA): A fat-soluble acid that penetrates deep into pores to clear oil, debris, and prevent body blemishes.
  
  Quick Tips
