Works for
CleansingMyristic acid, Sodium laureth sulfate + 3 moreCan be harsh
“Gentle cleansing foam contains 1000 ppm of snail filtrate and 10ppm of 24K gold plus herbal extracts that help skin get rid of dirt, impurities and makeup.”
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.
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.
ExfoliationAllantoinNot delivered
“- Purifies and exfoliates for a smooth complexion”
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.
