Mario Badescu Glycolic Skin Renewal Complex - For Combination/ Dry Skin Types 29ml/1oz

Mario Badescu Glycolic Skin Renewal Complex is a repairing and rejuvenating facial cream crafted for combination and dry skin. Infused with glycolic acid for gentle exfoliation, plus papaya extract and vitamin A, it revives dull, rough patches while delivering lasting moisture. The result is a refined texture and a brighter, more even complexion without the tight, dry feel that can come with harsher exfoliants.

Who should use it

• Dry and mature skin types seeking hydration with renewed texture
• Combination skin that needs balanced moisture and a smoother surface

What makes this formula unique

• Glycolic acid provides gentle, surface-level exfoliation that renews texture without harsh abrasion
• Papaya extract supports natural cell turnover to help reveal fresher skin beneath dullness
• Vitamin A contributes to skin renewal and hydration, helping to strengthen the skin barrier
• Creamy repair cream texture designed for daily use, spacing exfoliation with rich moisture
• Compact 29 ml / 1 oz size—easy to incorporate into morning and evening routines

How it works

• Glycolic acid gently lifts dead skin cells, refining rough patches and evening out tone
• Papaya enzymes work alongside glycolic acid to support a smoother surface without stripping moisture
• Vitamin A helps maintain hydration while promoting renewal, so dry, mature skin looks more vibrant

How to use

1. After cleansing and toning, dispense a pea-sized amount onto the fingertips
2. Warm between hands and smooth over the face, avoiding the eye area
3. Use twice daily (day and night) for best results; follow with sunscreen during daytime use
4. Patch test before first use if you have sensitive skin or are new to exfoliants

What to expect

• Soft, smoother skin texture that feels comfortably hydrated
• Brighter, more even-looking complexion with reduced dullness
• Refined surface that enhances the effectiveness of subsequent serums and moisturizers

Care tips and practical insights

• Because this complex combines exfoliation with moisture, consider adjusting usage if you notice any redness or irritation—start with every other night and increase as tolerated
• Pair with a broad-spectrum sunscreen in daytime routines to protect newly renewed skin
• For drier seasons or very dry areas, focus application on areas with rough texture and patchiness to maximize benefits without over-wetting the skin
