“The Ultimate Cleanse”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (peg-20 glyceryl triisostearate, polysorbate 85) 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.
Anti-blemishNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“For acne-prone skin, double cleansing ensures that excess sebum, makeup, SPF, and bacteria beneath your pores are fully removed.”
Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“Follow up with our Clarifying Cleansing Powder for a double cleanse that gently exfoliates and leaves your skin smooth and hydrated.”
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.
