Alpha Beta AHA/BHA Daily Cleansing Gel - Exfoliating Cleanse

Our review of the Alpha Beta AHA/BHA Daily Cleansing Gel finds it best for anyone wanting a non-stripping, exfoliating face wash that tackles dullness and congestion. This cleansing gel combines hydroxy acids in a soap- and sulfate-free base to remove makeup, dirt, and oil while producing a cushiony lather that leaves skin feeling soft rather than tight. The single biggest reason to buy is its ability to deliver gentle chemical exfoliation at the cleansing step, minimizing the look of pores and prepping skin for a follow-up Alpha Beta peel or treatment.

Key Features

• AHA/BHA exfoliation: Hydroxy acids provide a chemical exfoliation that helps slough away dead skin and improve uneven tone without mechanical abrasion.
• Soap- and sulfate-free formula: The gentle base cleanses thoroughly while avoiding harsh surfactants that can strip moisture and irritate the skin barrier.
• Safe for use around the eyes: The formulation is meant to remove makeup and grime from the eye area without causing stinging when used as directed.
• Cushiony lather: A rich, silky foam helps distribute actives and gives a satisfying deep-clean feel while keeping skin balanced.
• Vegan and free from common irritants: Cruelty-free and formulated without parabens, phthalates, or sulfates for cleaner ingredient preferences.

Who It's For

This cleanser is ideal for people with dull, congested, or uneven skin who want to add chemical exfoliation into their routine without using a separate acid product every wash. It suits oily and combination skin especially well because it removes excess oil and makeup while minimizing pore appearance.

Those with very dry or extremely sensitive skin should proceed with caution and may prefer a milder non-acid cleanser, or to patch test first; individuals seeking a heavy-duty makeup remover or an oil cleanser may need an additional product for waterproof makeup removal.
