ExfoliationSEA SALTNot delivered
“Lemongrass and Green Tea Body Scrub”
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.
Anti-blemishNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“Presented in a transparent tube, the formula contains micro-beads that gently exfoliate the skin’s surface, unclogging congested pores, while delivering nourishment to skin.”
Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
