Works for
MoisturizingGlycerin, Saccharum officinarum extract + 6 moreWorks
“Helps manage oil without stripping skin of its natural moisture levels.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, aloe barbadensis leaf juice.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
Evens skin toneGlycyrrhiza glabra root extract, Niacinamide + 1 moreNot delivered
“This cooling formula soothes skin and promotes even skin tone and texture.”
This product contains ingredients (glycyrrhiza glabra root extract) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
Anti-blemishAloe barbadensis leaf juice, Salix alba bark extract + 1 moreNot delivered
“Blemish Clearing Toner Pads”
Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
ExfoliationSalix alba bark extractNot delivered
“Exfoliates, helps clear pores and manages oil with salicylic acid from willow bark.”
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.

Product summary

In this concentration (0.30% - 0.75%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
- Humectants (glycerin 3.00% - 4.50%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
