“Yuja Brightening 2-in-1 Mask to Foam Cleanser with Vitamin C + Niacinamide”
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, cetearyl alcohol, cholesterol, hydrogenated lecithin, lauric acid, lauryl hydroxysultaine, myristic acid, palmitic acid) 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.

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: capryloyl salicylic acid.
