CleansingSodium cocoyl glycinate, Sodium lauroyl glutamate + 3 moreCleanses gently
“DESCRIPTION Ilso Grain Potato Pore Cleansing Pack Foam keeps your skin clean and radiant.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (hydrogenated lecithin, lauryl betaine, lauryl hydroxysultaine, sodium cocoyl glycinate, sodium lauroyl 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.
ExfoliationGluconolactone, Glycolic acidWorks well
“2-in-1 cleanser that helps remove sebum and dead skin cells with its gentle exfoliating power.”
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: gluconolactone, glycolic acid.
Anti-blemishGluconolactone, Glycolic acidNot delivered
“DESCRIPTION Ilso Grain Potato Pore Cleansing Pack Foam keeps your skin clean and radiant.”
This product contains ingredients (gluconolactone, glycolic acid) that could help reduce blemishes and clogged pores in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
