Alpyn Beauty Creamy Bubbling Cleanser with Fruit Enzymes & AHA's
Works for
ExfoliationGlycolic acid, Lactobacillus/punica granatum fruit ferment extract + 1 moreWorks well
“It refines the look of pores, dissolves excess oil, and gently exfoliates dead surface cells with papaya enzymes and AHAs while hydrating skin with hyaluronic acid for a balanced-feeling moisture barrier.”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: glycolic acid.
CleansingSodium cocoyl isethionate, Stearic acid + 5 moreCan be harsh
“This creamy, hydrating cleanser effortlessly removes makeup, dirt, and grime, leaving skin feeling clean and comfortable (not dry or tight).”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin.
The following cleansing agents are typically mild, but still can cause an irritation or allergy for some people sodium methyl cocoyl taurate.
Keep in mind that cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
