Works for
ExfoliationSalicylic acidWorks well
“Naturally derived salicylic acid exfoliates and purifies pore for smooth, clear skin”
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: salicylic acid.

MoisturizingArginine, Rosa damascena flower waterWorks
“Supported by organic grape water, alongside six essential oils, the formula hydrates the skin and provides a visible soothing effect.”
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, rosa damascena flower water.
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.

- Humectants (arginine 1.90% - 2.80%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
