Key actives
Anti-blemish
What does the product description say?
breakout prone skin
Source: Glo Skin
This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: sulfur. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.
A type of clay that consists mainly of aluminum silicate. Helps absorb oil and creates a thicker product consistency. Can be used to add a white color

Cleansing
What does the product description say?
purifying mask
Source: Glo Skin
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (aphanizomenon flos-aquae powder, sodium stearoyl glutamate) 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.
Helps oil and water mix together
Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
exfoliation via jojoba beads
Source: Glo Skin
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.
