The unique oil-free formula contains 10% glycolic and 2% salicylic acid to gently exfoliate dead skin cells and other impurities. Both medications dissolve the cement that holds dead skin cells together, allowing acne-prone skin to heal.  The Berman Skin Institute Gly-Sal Cleanser can also be used as a body cleanser, especially to the acne-prone areas of the back and chest.
