Works for
MoisturizingCaprylic/capric triglyceride, Isopropyl myristate + 12 moreWorks
“Offers low irritation and moisturising cleansing with naturally-derived herbal ferment extracts.”
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:
arginine, butylene glycol.
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: arginine, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
ExfoliationSide benefit the brand mentions · Betaine salicylateWorks well
“Removes skin impurities and accumulated dead skin cells with Betaine Salicylate.”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: betaine salicylate.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Cryptomeria japonica leaf extract, Carthamus tinctorius seed oil + 4 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (cryptomeria japonica leaf extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
Anti-blemishNot advertised by the brand · Betaine salicylateMay help
This product might be able to help reduce blemishes and clogged pores because it contains betaine salicylate.
