Dr. Ceuracle Pro Balance Morning Enzyme Wash
Works for
CleansingSorbitan stearate, Cetearyl alcohol + 8 moreCleanses gently
“Ideal for travel, this enzyme-infused powder face wash transforms into a rich foam when added with water to effortlessly rid skin of excess sebum, dead skin cells and impurities.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (carbomer, cetearyl alcohol, cholesterol, glyceryl stearate, hydrogenated lecithin, myristic acid, palmitic acid, sorbitan stearate, xanthan gum) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.

Ingredient callouts
- Ceramides (ceramide np 0.10% - 0.35%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
- Peptides (palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.01% - 0.05%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
- Adenosine 0.05% - 0.20%. It is a chemical present inside our skin cells. A clinical trial confirmed that topical application of Adenosine in a low concentration can reduce dynamic wrinkles (these are the wrinkles that appear with age in a places where our mimic is the most active, for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead).
- Humectants (saccharomyces ferment filtrate 0.05% - 0.25%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.05% - 0.20%, fructooligosaccharides 0.05% - 0.20%, lactobacillus ferment 0.05% - 0.20%, algae extract 1.00% - 1.50% and glycerin 3.70% - 5.60%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
