Botanic Tree Glycolic Acid Face Wash, Salicylic Acid, Dead Skin Remover, Brightens Skin

Real exfoliation, without the tight, stripped aftermath.

A 10% glycolic acid cleanser is no joke — most formulas at this strength leave skin red, tight, and flaking within days. This one is built differently: the same high-strength AHA/BHA exfoliation, balanced with botanicals that actually support the skin barrier instead of attacking it alongside the acid.

What's doing the work, and why it matters

• Glycolic acid (AHA) — the smallest AHA molecule, meaning it penetrates fastest and most evenly across the skin's surface to dissolve the "glue" holding dead skin cells together, revealing brighter, smoother skin underneath
• Salicylic acid (BHA) — oil-soluble, so it goes where glycolic can't: straight into clogged pores to clear congestion and help prevent breakouts before they start
• Willow bark extract — a natural source of salicin, essentially nature's version of salicylic acid, adding a second layer of gentle exfoliation
• Shea butter and bamboo extract — replenish moisture and soften skin, offsetting the dryness that high-strength acid cleansers are notorious for
• Chamomile and seaweed extract — calm inflammation and redness, which matters a lot when you're using two active acids at once
• Tea tree oil — a natural antibacterial that supports acne-prone skin without the harshness of synthetic alternatives

Why it beats a typical glycolic cleanser:

• Dual-acid formula — most drugstore glycolic washes use one acid; this pairs AHA + BHA to treat both surface texture and pore-level congestion in a single step
• Botanicals do double duty — shea butter, chamomile, and seaweed extract offset the drying effect that usually comes with 10% glycolic acid, so skin feels renewed instead of raw
• Vegan and cruelty-free, and formulated without parabens, sulfates, phthalates, formaldehyde-releasers, oxybenzone, octinoxate, triclosan, or hydroquinone

The bottom line

Most high-strength exfoliating cleansers make you choose between real results and comfortable skin. This one is formulated to give you both — visible texture and tone improvement without the tightness that usually comes with it.
