GlyMed Plus Vitamin C Cleanser is a cream cleanser built around magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, a stable, water-soluble form of vitamin C that delivers brightening and antioxidant benefits without the irritation that pure ascorbic acid can cause. The result is a cleanser that does more than remove makeup and debris: it actively nourishes skin that feels depleted, dull, or dehydrated. The formula has a light, natural grapefruit scent from the citrus peel oil in the blend.

Key Benefits

Brightens and evens skin tone Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate helps reduce the look of dullness and uneven tone over time, giving skin a more luminous, even appearance with every wash.

Delivers deep, lasting hydration Glycerin, lanolin, and a blend of emollient esters soften and condition skin during the cleansing step so it never feels tight or stripped afterward.

Supports skin repair with calcium and vitamin A Calcium chloride promotes tissue repair and collagen support while retinyl palmitate encourages healthy cell turnover, making this cleanser especially useful for post-procedure or mature skin.

Provides multi-layer antioxidant defense Grapefruit peel oil, grape seed oil, tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E), and superoxide dismutase work together to neutralize free radicals and protect against daily environmental stress.

Gently refines texture without abrasion Quillaja saponaria (soap bark) extract offers mild, natural cleansing action that lifts impurities and helps smooth uneven texture without microbeads or harsh surfactants.

If your skin feels tight after cleansing, looks dull even after a full routine, or is recovering from a professional treatment, this cleanser was designed with you in mind. It is especially well suited for dry, dehydrated, and mature skin types that need hydration delivered at every step.

It also works well as a first cleanse in a double-cleanse routine for blemish-prone skin. Because the formula is creamy and emollient rather than foaming, it dissolves makeup and sunscreen effectively while leaving the skin barrier intact.

Because this is a cream cleanser, applying it to dry skin first and then adding water gives the formula more time to dissolve sunscreen, makeup, and oil-based debris before rinsing, so you get a deeper cleanse without scrubbing harder.

Apply: Massage a small amount onto dry skin using your fingertips.

Technique: Dampen your fingers with warm water and continue massaging in circular motions for a full two minutes to allow the actives to work.

Remove: Rinse thoroughly with warm water or remove with a warm, damp cloth.

Frequency: Use morning and evening. For blemish-prone skin, follow with a foaming cleanser as your second cleanse. Always apply SPF in the morning.
