Works for
ExfoliationLactic acid, AllantoinWorks well
“Emulsion gently surrounds particles of skin soil and make-up and floats them to the surface for easy removal, while the hydroxy acids stimulate the skin’s normal sloughing action to reveal a smooth, fresh complexion.”
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: lactic acid.
