“Milk & Peel Cleansing Oil-In-Balm With Sesame Milk”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glyceryl behenate, polyglyceryl-3 diisostearate, polysorbate 80, sunflower seed oil glycerides, 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.

“Formulated with sesame milk known to visibly smooth the microrelief with exfoliating enzymes, this treatment gently removes dead cells and cleanses the skin on a daily basis.Composed of more than 40% vegetable oils, its melting formula transforms into oil and brings a feeling of comfort to the skin.Thanks to its resurfacing action, this cleansing balm helps cleanse the skin of impurities accumulated during the day and remove makeup,exfoliate gently and make the skin softer and smoother,tighten the pores daily.Day after day, the quality of the skin seems improved the skin looks smoother and brighter, while preserving its natural hydration.Tested under dermatological control.Not comedogenic.”
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.
