“Buy April Skin Pink Aloe Pack Cleanser in Australia , Online K-Beauty Store”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, coco-betaine, coconut acid, glyceryl stearate, sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate, sodium cocoyl alaninate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, xanthan gum) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: coco-betaine, sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate
ExfoliationSalicylic acid ~0.35–0.85%, below the ~0.5% it needsUnder-dosed
“DESCRIPTION April Skin Pink Aloe Pack Cleanser is a 4-in-1 cleansing foam that offers cleansing, exfoliating, and moisture care, and a pack that contains Pink Aloe, Bean Scrub, Tea Tree, and Mung Bean scrub that offers skin calming and trouble care.”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
