Key Ingredients in Minimalist 07% Alpha Lipoic + Glycolic Cleanser

Alpha Lipoic Acid

Alpha Lipoic Acid is an antioxidant ingredient used in skincare formulations. It helps support the product’s antioxidant-focused approach while complementing the exfoliating action of Glycolic Acid.

Glycolic Acid

Glycolic Acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA). It works primarily at the skin’s surface to exfoliate dead skin cells and can help improve the appearance of dullness and uneven texture.

Because Glycolic Acid is an exfoliating active, overuse can contribute to dryness or irritation, particularly for sensitive skin.

07% Active Formula

The product is identified as a 07% Alpha Lipoic + Glycolic Cleanser, making the combination of these actives an important part of its product positioning.

Full Ingredient List

The complete INCI list should be verified against the current product packaging or official Minimalist product page before publication.

Do not rely on an outdated ingredient list because cosmetic formulations can be updated. Customers with known allergies or sensitive skin should check the packaging carefully before use.

AHA Information

Glycolic Acid belongs to the Alpha Hydroxy Acid family. The FDA’s guidance on Alpha Hydroxy Acids in cosmetics provides useful general information about AHA-containing cosmetic products and sun sensitivity.

How Often Should You Use It?

Follow the manufacturer’s recommended usage instructions on the product packaging. Since this cleanser contains Glycolic Acid, beginners or sensitive-skin users should introduce it gradually and monitor how their skin responds.

Do not assume that using an exfoliating cleanser more frequently will provide better results.

Recommended Routine

Morning

Cleanser → Hydrating Serum → Moisturizer → Sunscreen

Evening

Cleanser → Treatment/Serum → Moisturizer

If you use other exfoliating acids, retinoids or strong active treatments, avoid automatically combining them in the same routine until you know your skin can tolerate the combination.

Sunscreen Advice

Glycolic Acid can increase sensitivity to sunlight. If you use this cleanser during your skincare routine, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the daytime and follow general sun-protection practices.

Sensitive Skin Guidance

If your skin is sensitive, reactive or currently irritated, patch test first and introduce the cleanser slowly. Do not use it on broken or severely irritated skin.

Important Precautions

• Patch test before first use.
• Avoid direct contact with the eyes.
• Do not scrub the skin while cleansing.
• Avoid using on broken or severely irritated skin.
• Introduce gradually if you are new to Glycolic Acid.
• Be cautious when combining it with other exfoliating acids or strong actives.
• Stop use if significant or persistent irritation develops.
• Use daytime sun protection.
• Follow the product packaging for the manufacturer’s recommended frequency and storage instructions.
