What the product description says
“Good Cera Super Ceramide Foaming Wash”
Source: Lookfantastic

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (ceteareth-20, cetearyl alcohol, cetearyl glucoside, glyceryl citrate/lactate/linoleate/oleate, glyceryl stearate, hydrogenated lecithin, potassium cocoate, potassium cocoyl glycinate, 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

Sodium methyl cocoyl taurateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be used as cleansing agent~5.7–7%
Potassium cocoyl glycinateEffect: High~3–3.6%

Exfoliation
Allantoin
Not delivered
What the product description says
“Effortlessly removing dirt, toxins and impurities, Good Cera Super Ceramide Foaming Wash exfoliates dead cells to clear the pores and smooth the skin.”
Source: Beauty Bay

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.

AllantoinEffect: Low, below effective doseHelps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated~0.2–0.4%
