“Dull Faace Cream Cleanser And Mask Combo”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetyl alcohol, coco-glucoside, glyceryl stearate, stearic acid, 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: coco-glucoside
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“Enriched with hero oil-fighter kaolin clay, licorice and kojic acid to brighten, citric acid to gently exfoliate, hyaluronic acid to hydrate plus avocado and safflower seed oils to soften and nourish, this formula sounds like your kinda vibe.”
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.
