Erno Laszlo Pore Refining Detox Double Cleanse
Works for
CleansingSodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate, Xanthan gumCleanses gently
“Treat your complexion to Erno Laszlo Pore Refining Detox Double Cleanse ; a clarifying formula that delivers deep daily cleansing for clear, healthy-looking skin.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate, 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.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate
ExfoliationMaris salNot delivered
“An easy, convenient alternative to two-step cleansing and exfoliating.”
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.
