This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin.
Keep in mind that cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
Anti-blemishLauric acid, KaolinNot delivered
“A complete cleanse for whiteheads and blackheads, even banishing dullness.”
Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“A facial cleanser that polishes the face with clay and herbs.”
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.
