Benefits
Promise: Cleansing
What does the product description say?
This nourishing facial cleanser replenishes dehydrated and depleted skin as it minimizes the appearance of pores.
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, cetearyl glucoside, glyceryl stearate, glycine soja protein, sorbitan oleate) 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| cetearyl alcohol | HIGH |  |  |
| cetearyl glucoside | HIGH | | |
| glyceryl stearate | HIGH | | |

Promise: Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Witch Hazel tones to minimise the appearance of pores while white honey enzymes and white tea help to dissolve dead skin.
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.
