Working to cleanse and tone in one swift step, the Acqua Serena Micellar Essence sweeps away impurities and nourishes without ever leaving your skin feeling stripped or dry.

Source: Cultbeauty

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (decyl glucoside, sodium cocoyl/olivoyl hydrolyzed oat protein) 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: decyl glucoside

decyl glucoside 3.4% - 5.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating

sodium cocoyl/olivoyl hydrolyzed oat protein 1.7% - 2.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Anti-blemish

gluconolactone 0.1% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting in improved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores if used consistently (e.g over a period of 12 weeks) in high enough concentration. It can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals

rosa damascena extract 0.85% - 1.25%

Irritation risk:

Oil of a very fragrant pink rose used as fragrance in cosmetics. Extensive research has shown it has mixed benefits. In the pro column, inhaling this flower’s scent seems to have relaxing properties and the plant’s petals contain skin-soothing and antioxidant compounds that can benefit skin. On the flipside, the numerous chemicals that create this rose’s distinctive fragrance pose a risk of causing skin aggravation.
