Have a question about Dermaceutic Foamer 15?
Dermaceutic Foamer 15
Most cleansers leave an invisible film that blocks your serums from working. Foamer 15 dissolves it completely — using 15% Glycolic Acid (pharmaceutical grade, >99.9% pure) to resurface while it rinses, removing dead cell buildup, unclogging pores, and priming your skin to absorb everything that follows. The clinical-grade cleanser every active skincare routine needs as its foundation.

Is Dermaceutic Foamer 15 right for you?
- Your skin feels dull, rough, or has uneven texture
- You use serums and actives but feel they have stopped working
- Your pores look congested or enlarged
- You have oily or combination skin
- You want a clinical AHA cleanser as part of a resurfacing routine
- You have already used gentler AHA products and are ready to step up
How Dermaceutic Foamer 15 works — the science
Glycolic Acid is the smallest alpha-hydroxy acid molecule — small enough to penetrate the stratum corneum and dissolve the bonds holding dead skin cells to the surface. At 15% pharmaceutical-grade concentration (>99.9% pure), Foamer 15 delivers clinical exfoliation in every wash.
Unlike leave-on AHA treatments, a rinse-off application means the acid is active only during contact time — effective but self-limiting. The foaming action spreads the acid evenly across the skin surface, ensuring consistent exfoliation. Dead cell buildup is removed, pore congestion is cleared, and the skin surface is optimally primed for absorption of serums applied after cleansing.
What you will notice — and when
After first use: Skin feels immediately smoother with a mild tingle during application. Week 1–2: Improved serum absorption. Week 3–4: Texture noticeably smoother, pores appearing cleaner. Week 6–8: Progressive brightening and significant texture refinement.
How to use Dermaceutic Foamer 15
- Use in the evening only — AHA increases photosensitivity; always apply SPF the following morning
- Wet face with lukewarm water
- Gently massage over entire face and neck for 30–60 seconds
- Rinse thoroughly
- A mild tingling sensation is normal — do not leave on longer than recommended
- Follow with your evening treatment serum and moisturiser
- Introduce gradually — begin every other evening, increasing to nightly as skin adjusts

Dr. Bangalee's clinical perspective
| Dr. Bangalee Recommends | Foamer 15 is the clinical cleanser I recommend to patients who are serious about their skincare results. The pharmaceutical-grade Glycolic Acid concentration delivers genuine resurfacing in every wash. For patients who have reached a plateau with their current routine, switching to Foamer 15 in the evening often restores visible progress within weeks. |
What our patients say
| My skin has never been smoother. After two weeks I noticed my vitamin C serum finally seemed to be working — turns out my old cleanser was leaving a film that blocked everything. | I was nervous about using glycolic acid in a cleanser but the tingling is very mild and my skin adjusted within a week. The texture improvement is real and noticeable. | Dr. Bangalee recommended this when my skin felt like nothing was working. Within a month, the results were back. This is now a permanent part of my routine. |
Frequently asked questions
| Will Foamer 15 make my skin dry or irritated? | Some initial sensitivity is normal — begin every other evening and increase frequency gradually. If irritation persists, reduce frequency or consult Dr. Bangalee. |
| Do I need to use SPF if I am rinsing it off at night? | Yes. AHA use increases photosensitivity even with rinse-off formulations. SPF50+ every morning is non-negotiable when using Foamer 15. |
| Can I use Foamer 15 with retinol? | Use on alternating evenings rather than the same night, particularly during the introduction phase. Consult Dr. Bangalee for guidance on combining these actives. |
| Is Foamer 15 suitable during pregnancy? | High-concentration AHA cleansers are generally not recommended during pregnancy. Please consult your healthcare provider before use. |
