I usually purchase this from Amazon, for about $18. They're out of stock, and I'm not seeing much of it around. It's the original one in the clear bottle, think 3% glycolic. Although I'm not oily, I find it to be thorough, and not drying. I'm not acne prone either, but occasional break out, and pores do get clogged. Any suggestions where else to order this, and is it discontinued? Thank you in advance!

Jet dot com has it for less than $20. @Dazlin

...and if you buy more than one, the price goes down with each one you add to your cart.

Thanks silleeme... I also wonder if anyone used his rose cleanser. I basically see the difference is the glycolic is lower on the ingredients. My daughter liked it though. I just want to be sure it cleans out pores as good. Maybe some will share their reviews here.

Actually @Dazlin, glycolic acid is best known as a good exfoliating agent for the surface, whereas something with salicylic acid (BHA) is better for cleansing pores and is usually recommended for acne prone skin.

Good info silleemee...ive heard that. I'll look at p.t.r. ingredients. Do you use either of these...which do recommend...if so?

[SilleeMee]

No, I have not used PTR's cleansers. I've tried other glycolic cleansers and they dried out my skin so I don't use cleansers with acids in them. @Dazlin

I have been using the PTR 3% glycolic cleanser and like it although I bought the orange one, Anti Aging cleanser and I like it more. I still have half a bottle of the glycolic which I will use but the Anti Aging is glycolic and salicylic acids among other ingredients. I have dry skin and don't find it drying. I actually bought the PTR 5 piece kit forW $49.00 with the cleanser, retinol, retinol eye cream, Water Drench Cloud Cream, and the pumpkin mask. I think it's a good deal since the eye cream is $55 alone.

@SilleeMee. I never use a cleanser with actives, I feel it just washes away..and I worry about my eyes getting stung.

No need to use an aha or active cleanser I feel if one uses an aha or SSA toner daily or a few times a week or pads/peel. I use a mix of both aha and SSA [Ptr's max complexion correction pads] even though my skin is dry, it's a good mix of of aha and SSA.. works so well. They are very much like his unwrinkle pads [have few left of those] but the max correction pads work much better due to the SSA in them like as you say [for cleaning pores] so even for my 'older' skin it does keep pores clear/ healthy. I can't say enough about them and wonder why they don't mention these on the Q? My forehead gets slightly bumpy due to oils or skincare..no idea why and when using these pads it smooths them out. My sister a Dr. notices everything and thought I had Botox lol it was so smooth..(makeup and primer helped too ). CVS carries Ptr's line along with other high-enders..with Ptr's new packaging as well. Had a 25% coupon from my CVS points and it took it!

Just checked amazon...all the cleansers are back in stock, so I ordered the orange bottle, anti aging. I liked that it has both acids in it. Great info from all here!
