“Life Plankton Rejuvanating Mild Creamy Peel”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
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. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: helianthus annuus seed oil, squalane.
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“Biotherm Life Plankton Rejuvanating Mild Creamy Peel 150ml is a gentle anti-pollution peeling, based on natural active ingredients from bioscience, formulated to suit all skin, even sensitive.Thanks to the combination of the Life Plankton probiotic fraction that stimulates the renewal of the skin and the natural squalene, it is as soft as a cream while exfoliating like a peeling.”
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.
