“Universal Microbiome Barrier Balancing Cleanser”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cholesterol, linoleic acid) 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.
Anti-blemishLinoleic acid, Camellia sinensis leaf extractNot delivered
“Formulated with coconut surfactants, this skincare formula features antibacterial and antifungal properties, helping to minimise irritation and acne.”
This product contains ingredients (linoleic acid) that could help reduce blemishes and clogged pores in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
