“Gentle Black Facial Cleanser MINI”
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, 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.
Anti-blemishBeta-glucan, Centella asiatica extractNot delivered
“Vegan formula containing extracts from black bean, blackberry, black truffle and black cumin effectively cleanses away dust and impurities on face.”
Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
ExfoliationSEA SALTNot delivered
“Use in tandem with the brand’s Gentle Black Fresh Cleansing Oil and Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish for optimal results. Comes in mini travel size.”
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.
