CleansingOleth-20, Acetamide meaCleanses gently
“Cool the skin with gentle hydrators while lifting away dirt and makeup.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (acetamide mea, oleth-20) 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.

Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect
