Anti-blemish
What does the product description say?
Perfect for daily use on blemished skin, or as an alternate with another cleanser as a regular exfoliator.
sodium ascorbyl phosphate
0.05% -
0.2%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Effectiveness:
MEDIUM
A stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C
linoleic acid
0.45% -
1.1%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Insufficient!
An excellent emollient. Helps soften the skin, restore its barrier function, and can help to calm down inflammation. It can be helpful to prevent blemishes and clogged pores
retinyl palmitate
0.1% -
0.5%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Insufficient!
Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect
Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Reveal a radiant complexion with the 111Skin Exfolactic Cleanser, a deeply nourishing and restorative daily cleanser that works to remove dirt, dead skin cells, pollutants and impurities as gently as possible.
tartaric acid
0.45% -
1.1%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Effectiveness:
MEDIUM
An AHA (alpha-hydroxy acid). It oxidizes quickly which makes it less effective in skincare formulations. It can support skin's barrier and moisture levels
papain
0.55% -
1.3%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Effectiveness:
LOW
An enzyme extracted from papaya fruit. Can have an exfoliating effect on the skin. Can be irritating
lactic acid
1.2% -
1.7%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Insufficient!
An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)
