Aqua Glycolic Shampoo and Body Cleanser, 8-Ounce

This is the first time I've written a review on Amazon and I'm only doing it because I feel my experience might be useful to others who have gone through the same thing. I'm a male in my 30s. I buzz my very short mostly because of hair loss and I have had problems for years now with acne on my scalp. I've been on several rounds of antibiotics, I've tried lots of soaps. Salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide. You name it, at one point or another over the last 5 years I've tried it.

To make a long story short, I've been using this wash in combination with a 10% benzoyl peroxide gel for the last couple of months and my scalp acne has gone and stayed gone for over a month. Neither product seemed to do the trick alone, but using the two together has worked. And it seems that the Aqua Glycolic helps with the dryness that I was getting from the peroxide.

Just to be clear: at this point, I use the Aqua Glycolic when I shower as a shampoo according to the instructions on the bottle (you have to leave it on for 2-3 minutes). Then after my head has fully dried from the shower I put a thin layer of the benzoyl peroxide over my entire scalp (not sure why this is, but I've found it's best to wait to have it fully dried before putting on the peroxide). Then, I'm done for the day. When I started, I was putting the peroxide on twice a day now I only to it once. And now, my scalp doesn't get oily over the course of the day like it used to and I am virtually completely acne free.

Oh, and while benzoyl peroxide supposedly bleaches hair and is bad for people who dye their hair, I don't dye my hair and it hasn't really bleached my black (slightly graying) hair. And, besides, it really doesn't matter since my head is practically shaved anyway. Regardless, I'd rather have it bleach a little than have the acne.

Anyway, I have no idea if this will work for others. I'm just sharing my experience. But I've been extremely satisfied by the results and I'm convinced this wash has a lot to do with it. I expect I'll be using it indefinitely into the future. Hopefully, this might be effective for others also.

If you have dry scaly skin at all or are just concerned with aging spots and wrinkles this product is a great addition to a regular peeling regime.

I wash my face with it almost everyday. Works fantastic.

Also I use it on my hair, great for getting build up off hair, great for scalp and as stated, it does leave your hair very soft.

I use this also as a body soap with a scrubby, and on my finger nail and toe nail brushes.

I've heard complaints about the scent, I am super scent allergic and or picky and the scent was no problem for me. It's clean and fresh.

Good product for maintaining my break-out prone facial skin. I felt the face wash was too weak so I use the body wash all over.
