Overview
A foaming gel cleanser from Glow Recipe combining glycolic and lactic acid with hyaluronic acid, built to work as a daily wash, a makeup remover, or a short clarifying mask. Comes in a 5.41 fl oz bottle formulated for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
The blueberry scented formula pairs mild AHAs with hyaluronic acid so the exfoliating step does not skip a hydrating one, and it is built to double as a short mask rather than a single use wash. It is free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates and mineral oil, and the brand markets it as suitable for sensitive skin despite the acid content.
- Foaming gel cleanser with glycolic and lactic acid
- Also functions as a makeup remover and mask
- 5.41 fl oz bottle, all skin types listed including sensitive
- Cruelty free and mineral oil free formula
Who it's for
Suits people who want one product that washes, removes makeup and exfoliates instead of running three separate steps. Skin that reacts to AHAs or glycolic acid should patch test first since acids are active even in a rinse off format.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Foams and exfoliates in one wash step
- Doubles as a short clarifying mask
- Free of sulfates, parabens and phthalates
- Formulated with hyaluronic acid to offset acid dryness
- Contains added scent (blueberry), not fragrance free
- AHA content means sensitive skin should patch test first
Performance notes
Glycolic and lactic acid work at the skin's surface to loosen dead cells while the product foams, and hyaluronic acid is included to offset the drying effect acids can have during a rinse off cleanse. Left on for a few minutes it is positioned as a light clarifying mask rather than a leave on treatment.

Questions about the Glow Recipe GRD09601
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
Is the Glow Recipe Blueberry Bounce cleanser safe for sensitive skin?
The listing marks it suitable for sensitive skin, but because it contains AHA, glycolic and lactic acid, a patch test is worth doing before regular use.
Can this be used as a face mask, not just a cleanser?
Yes, the product is described as doing triple duty as a foaming wash, a makeup remover and a short clarifying mask.
Does it contain fragrance?
Yes, it is scented (blueberry), so it is not a fragrance free option.
