Works for
CleansingPolyglyceryl-4 caprateCan be harsh
“A power cleanser featuring Hydrogen Bio WaterTM to gently remove makeup, dirt, and excess oil to cleanse skin without water.”
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.
ExfoliationSea saltNot delivered
“Draws out impurities and provides gentle, powerful cleansing. . Dead Sea Salt.”
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.
