Works for
ExfoliationSalicylic acidWorks well
“It helps to exfoliate skin to promote healthy cell renewal and helps soften the appearance of discolouration, pigmentation and sun damage.”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: salicylic acid.
Anti-blemishSalicylic acid, Aloe barbadensis leaf juiceWorks well
“It addresses congested pores, sebum build-up, uneven skin texture and dullness.”
This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: salicylic acid. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.
MoisturizingGlycerin, Cocos nucifera fruit extract + 9 moreWorks
“A lightweight bouncy gel treatment mask delivers hydration and visibly smooth and plumps skin.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
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. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
betaine, diglycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: helianthus annuus seed oil, cocos nucifera fruit extract.

“Evens your skin tone for a brighter looking complexion and soothes your skin”
This product might help improve the skin tone through exfoliation. In other words, it helps to speed up the shedding of cells from the upper layer of the skin, and this might help reduce hyperpigmentation.
