CleansingSodium cocoyl isethionate, Sodium methyl cocoyl taurate + 6 moreCleanses gently
“Daily Cleanser Mousse”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (caprylyl/capryl glucoside, cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, glyceryl caprylate/caprate, glycol distearate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium lauryl sulfoacetate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate) 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 methyl cocoyl taurate
ExfoliationGlycolic acid, Lactic acid + 2 moreWorks well
“It ́s a triple-action of cleansing, exfoliating, and treatment due to the synergistic action between an advanced complex of five acids and Sebustop.”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid.
Anti-blemishSalicylic acid, Glycolic acid + 1 moreWorks well

The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: glycolic acid
