My skin is hormonally wack. Almost 50, but without the most special care/product, I get clogged pores, whiteheads, and even cysts. I live on the East Coast and get oily during the warmer months....

I haven't used this product, but I would like to! Can anyone tell me what retailers carry this? or do I need to purchase it online?

I've used MD Formulations Cleanser for around 5 years, however I bought the MD Forte Cleanser III just recently as it's half price and the glycolic percent is double. It's a really nice cleanser,...

I absolutely love this cleanser. I'm so glad I discovered it. It really does need to be used correctly or I don't think you will see results. I remove my makeup first with a Neutrogena cleansing...

This cleanser is fantastic! I did not have luck the Aqua Glycolic cleanser either. It actually seemed to clog my pores rather than clean my face. It does make a fabulous shaving lotion though. ...

I've been using MD Cleanser II for years, which was working fine. But I thought I'd give III a shot, figuring my skin would be able to handle the higher % b/c I use lactic acid serum, MaMa Lotion,...

I highly recommend this cleanser. It is a bizarre combination of being both a gentle cleanser yet potent given its high glycolic acid content. I much prefer non-foaming cleansers (as should you),...

You only need a quarter sized dollup of this cleanser. The bottle should last you about 2 months, so I think it's a good deal for such a wonderful cleanser. Pros-Helps Cellular turnover happen...
