Elizabeth Arden Prevage Anti-Aging Treatment Boosting Cleanser
Works for
CleansingSodium laureth sulfate, Cocamidopropyl betaine + 12 moreCan be harsh
“Working to protect your skin from environmental threats, the PREVAGE® Anti-ageing Treatment Boosting Cleanser from Elizabeth Arden is a multi-action, moisture-rich cleanser which quickly dissolves impurities, and corrects the skin's appearance.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin.
It contains the following cleansing agents that tend to be harsh on the skin: sodium laureth sulfate.
The following cleansing agents are typically mild, but still can cause an irritation or allergy for some people cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate.
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.
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“Designed to refine skin's appearance with gentle bamboo microbeads and enzymatic exfoliators, this daily cleanser paves the way for maximum treatment benefits, leaving skin feeling cleansed, comfortable and healthy looking.”
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.
