The Shelf · Cleansers That Do Less, Better
Jan Marini Bioglycolic Face Cleanser
A genuine glycolic dose in the wash step, which is a more sensible place for it than people assume: contact time is short, so it resurfaces without the sting a leave-on acid can bring. It is the harder-working sibling of the enzyme cleanser on this same shelf, and the wrong one to pair with a retinoid on the same night.
