“Refining cleansing wipes”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glyceryl caprylate, peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil, polysorbate 80) 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.
ExfoliationAllantoinNot delivered
“Whisk away make-up and impurities anytime, anywhere.Green Barley Extract from Jeju Island is rich in natural alpha hydroxy acids, proteins and fibers to deeply clean, nourish and gently exfoliate 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.
