A Healthy skin’s pH level is anywhere between 3.5 to 6 . Anything below 3.5, makes it too acidic resulting in dry and irritated skin while anything above 6 makes it alkaline. Alkaline skin condition attracts oil, acne , premature ageing etc. When you have oily skin, it makes sense to indulge in some acidic treatments to improve the pH level. It explains why using citric fruits on your skin gives it a boost. It’s always a good idea to include some Glycolic, Salicylic or Lactic acid in your skin care regimen. I have been using Globus Purifying Glycolic & Salicylic Face Wash. And it’s time I review it for you.

Ingredients
Packaging
This Face Wash comes in a transparent tube with a white flip top cap. This is a gel based face wash hence it is easy to pour it out of the squeeze-able tube. The tube also contains the ingredient list of the face wash. The packaging is very sturdy and does not leak.
How To Use Globus Purifying Glycolic & Salicylic Face Wash?
Moisten your face and neck. Apply a small quantity of the face wash. Massage in circular motion working up lather. Rinse with fresh and cold water. Use twice a day for best results.
** I use it once a day only during winter.
Fragrance & Texture
This is a transparent gel based face wash. It also contains blue colored small beads which dissolve as I rub them together. The beads hence do not feel harsh on my skin. It lathers well and can be washed easily.
There is quite a fresh and sweet fragrance to the face wash. It does not irritate my sensitive nose. The smell is so mild that I do not even notice is while I am using this face wash.
My Experience Globus Purifying Glycolic & Salicylic Face Wash
It’s not the first time that I am using an AHA based face wash. I have used AHAGlow face wash for a long time. I definitely had great experience with that face wash. But some how I got bored of that face wash and switched to others. Using an AHA based face wash can actually get your skin used to it and your skin might stop responding to it. So it’s better to take breaks in between.
I use Globus Purifying Glycolic & Salicylic face wash every night. I do not want to overdo when it comes to acids. This face wash does not dry out my skin though, but I still do not want my skin to get addicted to the face wash.
The face wash does not lather much, but it effectively cleanses skin. I massage it for at least 1 minute so that Glycolic & Salicylic acid could penetrate into my skin. AHA exfoliates skin and helps to get rid of dead skin cells. When skin stays clear of dead skin cells there are less chances that skin would get clogged. An effective toner can further help to clean the pores clean.
Globus Purifying Glycolic & Salicylic face wash gently exfoliates skin. Coming to the other claims, it does not dry out skin. Skin feels clean and fresh. I have not found much difference in my scarring, but there has not been any kind of rashes or allergic reaction due to the face wash.
Side Effects: I have not experienced any side effect yet. Whenever you use AHA/BHA based product, go slow. Use it once a day. Let your skin get used to the acids before expecting results. If you have not used acids on your skin before, your skin might feel rash-y, red or irritated. It might take 2-3 weeks before your skin gets habitual of AHA or BHA.

Summary: 4/5
Globus Purifying Glycolic & Salicylic face wash, cleanses skin, exfoliates it mildly, does not dry out skin or irritate sensitive skin. My pores look minimized and blackheads on my nose has decreased considerably. It is affordable and 100 ml lasts for 2-3 months. I must admit, It would not help with acne scarring but definitely helps to control acne. It is a nice face wash for oily and acne prone skin.
