Love this cleanser! I was searching for a creamy cleanser that a) didn't have any silicones and b) could remove my (light) makeup and c) wasn't tested on animals. Found! Not only does it do all those things but it has the added benefits of containing glycolic acid and vitamins, helping to smooth out my skin while nourishing it, my skin doesn't feel dry or tight, just clean and smooth and so far no breakouts. Sure it's made for guys, but honestly, how would skin know that? Will repurchase!

I am always searching for a cleanser that will reduce the look of my pores, remove oil and dirt, buff my skin, promote regeneration and remove uneven patches. I know, I sound greedy but this multi-purpose cleanser from Anthony Logistics will cleanse, buff and promote healing. With 4.9% Glycolic Acid; dead skin cells, fine lines and discolorations will be eased away with every wash. With extracts of aloe vera to moisturize and stimulate healing, vitamin A to soften and prevent degeneration of collagen, vitamin C to protect the skin while increasing elasticity, vitamin E to nourish the skin while improving moisture capacity and mandarin extracts to lessen scarring and marks and to tone skin.
It does what it says and it comes in a clean, handy bottle that won't look too out of place when you're on the road with your pals and if you find the cleanser being depleted at a faster than normal rate, you know who to look for!

Sex: Male
Age: 30 - 35
Skin Type: Combination to Oily
Length/Quantity of use: One Bottle
Price = 2 - I paid $20 CDN plus taxes for 8 fl oz (237mL) bottle. Available at Beauty Mark in Vancouver, Canada. The rating is derived from comparison among high end, name brand lines (e.g. Lancome, Clinique, Estee Lauder etc) which are above your everyday, drugstore brand (e.g. Neutrogena, Oil of Olay etc). Based on the comparison set, $20 is a fairly reasonable price for this type of cleanser.
Packaging Quality = 3 - The packaging, is simple, no frills and minimal. The cleanser is contained in an opaque whilte plastic bottle topped with a light gray cap. A light gray band around the bottle displays the brand, product name along with straight forward information regarding the cleanser such as the ingredients list. The bottle ensure no wasted product but I am not certain if it protects the antioxidants in the cleanser from light. I would have given the packaging a higher rating had it not leaked all over my luggage when I brought it on vacation. My experience is whenever the bottle is left in a position other than upright, which normally happen when you pack it into a toiletry bag, the product will ooze out and create waste and mess.
Overall Rating = 1 - The bottle states that the objective (for using the product) is to make your face squeak with cleanliness and the strategy is with aloe vera for soothing, glycolic acid to ease away fine lines, Vitamin A, C & E. This product line is clearly aimed towards men who appreciates the simplicity of a "all-in-one" type of cleanser. The cleanser has a pearly sheen and although it claims to be fragrance free, it does possess a light citrus scent from the fruit oils. If you are expecting a completely fragrance free product then you might want to look at other lines like Clinique. Glycolic acid is listed as the second ingredients for this cleanser. According to my research, the glycolic acid content of this product is around the 5 - 7 percent range, which, depending on the clinical studies you choose to believe, this may be too low to offer any noticeable improvement. Some studies suggest that in order for glycolic acid (AHA) to work, it should ideally be in the correct pH level AND around 10 - 12%. AHA should also be ideally included in a treatment serum or moisturizer, not in a cleanser that you wash away from your face. Kindly note that this cleanser only offers AHA, in the form of glycolic acid and NOT BHA. Therefore, despite the fact that this product is intended for "All Skin Types", it may not be as effective for oilier skin. Additionally, people with skin belonging to the oily, dry and sensitive ends of the spectrum might be wise to stay away from this product for it contains several fruit oils, namely Grapefruit and Mandarin Orange peel oil, several herbs and flower extracts which may irritate the skin. It also contains alcohol which may potentially dry out your skin even more so Dry Skin individuals are also out. My experience with this cleanser is that it leaves my skin oily to touch which exacerbate my already oily skin. I did not notice any exfoliation or improvement to my skin texture or tone. Since antioxidant serum and moisturizers are already part of my skin regimen, I am not able to review the antioxidant contents of this product but it is safe to say that it is probably in an insignificant amount based on its position in the ingredients list. For people with normal skin, however, this cleanser might be worth checking out. continued >>

I've purchased this product about three times, and will continue to do so b/c it's the perfect cleanser for both my SO and myself. I bought this for my SO and he really loves it, and out of curiosity, I tried and also really enjoyed it. This is a non-foaming cleanser that has all kinds of great skin stuff in it - aloe, chamomile, glycolic acid, and retinyl palmite. I have combo skin and use a retinoid at night, and this is perfect for mornings (I use a cleansing oil at night) as it cleanses without drying and isn't very harsh. SO likes his b/c it keeps breakouts at bay. We always have two bottles of this on hand so we can each have our own! A winner!

I love this cleanser! It's about half the price of Peter Thomas Roth and works just as well. It has a nice clean light citrus scent. It has really helped clear up my oily skin and blackheads. I use it every other day.

I have never actually used this product, but I am just commenting to let people know that the percentage of Glycolic Acid in this product is 4.9%, as many people were asking for the number. I got this from www.eluxury.com which gives lots of details about this product. That is a relatively high percentage of glycolic acid for a cleanser, so it sounds like a great product!

I am trying a sample from Sephora, which will probably last 2 weeks in total. It's a great cleanser, rinse clean & smells good. But i am not so sure about its glycolic factor. I cannot find the percentage of glycolic acid, and not really feeling the tingling effect when it's on my face (both dry and wet) continued >>

I bought this for my husband and fell in love with it. It is a great cleanser. It has the consistency of cetaphil, nice citrus scent with glycolic in it. It is not too drying for me (sl sens sl dry occ outbreaks.) I always have this as part of my regimen.

This face wash is one of the best I've ever used! It doesn't dry my skin out and my face feels very clean and calm afterwards.

It has totally eliminated the flaking I was experiencing from using Retin-A 0.1% cream and has helped in evening out my complexion.

It doesn't foam up at all which doesn't bother me too much, and, although it hasn't got any added fragrance, it does smell of citrus (or as I've heard some describe it, like sherbert). The smell is really nice anyway, and is, as I said, not added for the sake of adding fragrance, but simply from the active ingredients.

This one's a keeper!

-- update --

Sadly I've had to stop using this face wash as I've found anything with glycolic acid it in just irritates my skin too much.

I use a glycolic cleanser every morning to help clear and exfoliate my combo, acne-prone skin. This is my new face wash. I apply a small amount to dry skin and massage it in, then slowly add water until it foams up a bit. Easy to rinse off and my face feels squeaky clean without getting dry or flaky. I bought this as a less expensive substitute to my old standby, MD Formulations glycolic cleanser. This works just as well (if not better) for half the price. Only $18 at Sephora for a bottle that will last months. It has a light citrus scent that's hardly even noticeable. If you have acne-prone skin you should definitely give this a try.

I picked up a sample of this, and have been using it for a few days. It's great so far. It seems to be helping me get a back acne breakout under control, but not irritating my rosacea. I'm using it both am & pm. It has a light citrus smell - very light. It has the consistency of Cetaphil's cleanser. I intend to purchase it when my sample runs out.
By the way, I'm a woman. I'm pretty open to trying things made for men because I find they generally smell either less or better. continued >>

Initially I purchased this for my husband but he was only using it once or twice a week and it was always in our shower. After reading The SkinType Solution book by Leslie Baumann, I found my skin would benefit most from a glycolic cleanser... so I started using Anthony Logistics Glycolic Facial Cleanser since we already had it. Truth be told, I purchased Neutrogena Pore Refining Cleanser first but wasn't impressed by it.... that's when I started using Anthony Logistics Glycolic Facial Cleanser.
My skin is quite oily and I didn't really think a glycolic cleanser would make a difference. I've used high end (Chantecaille and Cle de Peau) and low end (Purpose and Neutrogena) and figured the low-end worked just fine so why spend the extra $$$.
What I love about Anthony Logistics Glycolic Facial Cleanser is that it's plain, simple, no-frills and fragrance free. Another impressive factor is the second ingredient is Glycolic Acid. I've looked at many other glycolic cleansers and the glycolic acid is pretty far down on the list of ingredients.
Anthony Logisics Glycolic Facial Cleanser doesn't leave a film after rinsing, it doesn't burn or sting my face, it has no offensive scent (love that it's fragrance free), doesn't include buffing beads to tear or irritate my skin and leaves my skin feeling clean and not over-stripped. My pores are visibly less clogged and definitely getting smaller since I've been using this twice a day for the past few weeks.
It comes in either a neat flip-top 8oz size ($18 at Sephora) or a jumbo 32oz pump bottle ($32 at Nordstrom). I'd been buying the 8oz one until I found the 32oz pump bottle... you get four times as much for less than twice the price... it's such a great value that I purchased it even before we ran out of our current 8oz bottle.
I've been repurchasing for DH and now I'll be repurchasing for us
