“Anti-Wrinkle Exfoliating Cleanser”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. 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: glycolic acid.

“Anti-Wrinkle Exfoliating Cleanser”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetyl alcohol, cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, coco-glucoside, decyl glucoside, glyceryl caprylate, glyceryl oleate, glyceryl stearate, glyceryl undecylenate, sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate, 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, decyl glucoside, glyceryl oleate, sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate
Anti-blemishGlycolic acid, Rosmarinus officinalis leaf extractNot delivered
“HydroPeptide Anti-Wrinkle Exfoliating Cleanser is a deep cleanser designed to treat wrinkles, prevent collagen loss, fight against acne, and revive lifeless skin and is now available in clinic and online from Face the Future.”
This product contains ingredients (glycolic acid) that could help reduce blemishes and clogged pores in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
