Beekman 1802 Milk Wash Exfoliating Jelly Cleanser in frosted plastic tube Multi-Acid Resurfacing Cleanser
Beekman 1802 cleanser
Milk Wash Exfoliating Jelly Cleanser

Beekman's most clinical cleanser — a multi-acid exfoliating jelly that transforms into a milk on contact with water, built around lactic, glycolic, and salicylic acids supported by a goat milk and Bifida ferment lysate backbone. Worth it for users with congestion, dullness, or texture issues who want chemical exfoliation in a cleanser format. Use 1-3 times per week, never daily.

SkinMedica AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser tube Derm Office Staple
SkinMedica cleanser
AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser

A dermatologist-developed dual-exfoliation cleanser that combines chemical acids with smooth jojoba beads in a surprisingly non-stripping formula. It earns its place in the medicine cabinets of derm offices nationwide — but the essential oils and premium price tag may give purists pause.

Medik8 Surface Radiance Cleanse AHA/BHA Cleanser in a white squeeze tube with green accents Best-Selling Acid Cleanser
Medik8 cleanser
Surface Radiance Cleanse AHA/BHA Cleanser

Medik8's global best-seller earns its reputation: a triple-acid gel cleanser that delivers noticeable brightening and pore refinement from the first wash, at a price that makes daily exfoliation feel guilt-free. The citrus essential oils are the only real stumble — they add a lovely scent but exclude anyone with fragrance sensitivity from the party.
