Christophe Robin Hydrating Cream Scrub With Aloe Vera
Works for
CleansingCetearyl alcoholCan be harsh
“Cleanses and exfoliates.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin.
Keep in mind that cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
ExfoliationMicrocrystalline celluloseNot delivered
“A clarifying pre-wash exfoliant, Christophe Robin Hydrating Cream Scrub With Aloe Vera nourishes and nurtures dry, dehydrated, and sensitive scalps.”
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.
