Ingredient callouts
Salicylic acid (0.70% - 1.00%). This is an oil-soluble exfoliating acid. Because of this property, it can work inside pores and help reduce the congestion. It has an anti-inflammatory effect and is used to treat acne. Because it is a quite strong exfoliator, be careful with using this product too often: it could result in over-exfoliation.
Humectants (sucrose 3.10% - 3.80%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

KEY INGREDIENTS This Aquapower shower gel for men contains coco-betaine, Salicylic Acid and Life Plankton™ to softly cleanse the skin, leaving it smooth and hydrated.
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called
"humectants":
sucrose, sorbitol.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This
is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for
ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. In crystal form, it can work as a gentle exfoliant, gentler than the salt scrub. Helps stabilize the emulsion
