MEDIX Exfoliating Glycolic Acid Body Wash & Face Wash + Fragrance Free Retinol Body Lotion Skin Care Set | Crepey Skin Care Treatment | Lactic Acid Foaming Wash For KP Bumps, Keratosis Pilaris & Acne

I purchased the glycolic body wash with the retinol moisturizer. I have keratosis pilaris, or something very close to it. My arms always have a little rash, even in childhood. But when I got closer to menopause, it seemed to spread all over my arms. I did some digging online and found that retinol can help. I figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try (I mean I love it on my face!). At first I was a little hesitant to try this combo. I have dry skin and acids (glycolic, lactic, retinol, and ferulic) can be very drying. But with the way my skin was looking, I figured it couldn't get much worse. I figured that I could rotate a more hydrating product into my routine as needed, just like you would do for your face when using chemical exfoliators like retinol and glycolic acid. After the first wash I was already impressed. I had read people complaining about the mint scent, but it's part of the treatment. It smells nice, I didn't find it as offensive as the reviews said. It lathers alright, but what it does for the skin is amazing. I saw a few reviews mention that it burns, but I didn't have that experience at all, and I used it on my entire body. After my shower I used the retinol lotion on my arms. Even after the first day my KP was claming down. By the next day my rash was reduced by at least half. I really wish I would have looked for something sooner, because I've had this going on my whole life. Now, let's talk about these products a little bit. I saw some confusion in the reviews about people using these products and drying out. That's because all of the acids are exfoliating, they are meant to accelerate skin resurfacing which can cause dryness. But that's what makes these products work (you can apply this knowledge to your facial products as well). I recommend using other mechanical exfoliators like body scrubs or a Buff Puff, then follow up with hydrating creams to balance out the acids. Also, if you're sensitive at first, go slow. You work up to using these type of things daily. If you start flaking and peeling, back off for a few days and use a scrub or face mask to remove the dead skin, and then use a hydrating moisturizer. Overall I'm very impressed with how effective this combo has been. I just wish I had considered using the knowledge I had about my facial products to my whole body. I love that these bottles are a decent size, not too expensive, and they actually work. I highly recommend!

These products were great. The body wash smells awesome and I love that I can use this lotion without being offended by a strong smell. My skin definitely likes both of them.

Both of these products work great!! I would recommend these products again and again.

Is not true as described on bottle

Good quality non drying chemical exfoliating bodywash and moisturizer. Medicinal scent, good pump on bottle. I would purchase again.

Both products are moisturizing, but I haven’t noticed a difference in my KP using this combo. The body wash has a light eucalyptus like smell but it doesn’t stay on your skin.

I’ve been really happy with this skincare set. The body wash leaves my skin feeling smooth and refreshed without drying it out, and the retinol lotion has a lightweight, non-greasy texture that absorbs quickly. After a couple weeks, my skin looked softer, more even, and noticeably healthier. I also appreciate that the lotion is fragrance free and gentle enough for daily use.

My new favorite lotion!!
