Puriste 2.5% Glycolic Acid Cream – The Best Face Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin, Skin Irritation, and Red Patches

$29

40 mL | 1.5 Fl. Oz.

The Puriste 2.5% Glycolic Acid Cream is the first step in our glycolic acid stepwise system, making it the perfect daily moisturizer for those with sensitive skin, skin allergies, dry patches, and irritation-prone complexions. Designed to deliver optimal skin rejuvenation and restoration, this gentle yet effective formulation provides exfoliation, hydration, and skin renewal in one.

Why It Works

  • Gentle Exfoliation for Sensitive Skin – The 2.5% pharmaceutical-grade glycolic acid loosens dead skin cells without over-stripping, making it ideal for those with red patches, skin rash, or skin prone to irritation.
  • Deep Hydration & Skin Barrier Support – Infused with vitamin-rich botanicals, this formula nourishes and restores hydration for dry, flaky, and rough skin.
  • Brightens & Evens Skin Tone – Reduces red spots, dark spots, and dull skin, leaving your complexion looking radiant and refreshed.
  • Restores Firmness & Smoothness – Stimulates new skin cell production and boosts collagen levels, helping to firm and lift sagging or aging skin.
  • Minimizes Pores & Improves Texture – The gentle exfoliation helps to reduce the look of large pores, rough skin, and bumpy texture.

Who Should Use This?

If you have very sensitive skin, redness, or burning from stronger acids, this is the best face moisturizer for sensitive skin to start with. It provides all the benefits of glycolic acid exfoliation but at a lower concentration, allowing your skin to adjust gradually.

Puriste 2.5% Glycolic Acid Cream vs. CeraVe SA Cream – Why We’re Better

  • Better for Sensitive Skin – Unlike CeraVe SA Cream, which contains salicylic acid, our glycolic acid formula is milder and less likely to cause irritation or redness.
  • More Effective Hydration – While CeraVe focuses on ceramides, Puriste includes botanical extracts that provide natural hydration and skin-calming benefits.
  • Faster Results for Rough & Bumpy Skin – Glycolic acid penetrates deeper than salicylic acid, leading to smoother, more even-textured skin faster.
  • Perfect for First-Time Glycolic Acid Users – If your skin reacts easily to exfoliants, start here before moving up to the Puriste 5% Glycolic Acid Cream.

For those struggling with dry skin, red patches, skin irritation, or rough and bumpy skin, the Puriste 2.5% Glycolic Acid Cream provides the perfect balance of exfoliation and hydration—far superior to generic drugstore alternatives like CeraVe SA Cream.


Directions

Apply on cleansed skin daily and/or nightly. After results reach a plateau, you are ready to add the 5% Glycolic Acid Cream to your skincare routine.  

Note: We recommend "patch" testing for sensitivity on the neck area before beginning treatment. Due to the exfoliating properties of our products, we also encourage protecting your skin with an SPF after all product applications. Apply an SPF after the cream has fully absorbed into the skin.
