“Purely White Skin Brightening Cleanser”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-glucoside, decyl glucoside, glyceryl oleate, lauryl glucoside, potassium laurate, potassium myristate, potassium palmitate, potassium stearate) 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
ExfoliationSalix alba bark extractNot delivered
“Containing Kakadu plum extract, known to be the world’s richest natural source of Vitamin C, to reduce the appearance of skin discolorations and even the skin tone, Licorice root to soothe and calm troubled skin and Willow Bark to enhance cell renewal, the natural formula is gentle enough for the most sensitive of skins.”
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.
