Effaclar H Iso-Biome Cleansing Cream

Source: From product name

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin.

It contains the following cleansing agents that tend to be harsh on the skin: sodium laureth sulfate.

The following cleansing agents are typically mild, but still can cause an irritation or allergy for some people coco-betaine.

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.

cocamide mea 0.45% - 1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

coco-betaine 2.6% - 3.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent. Can be allergenic

glycol distearate 0.45% - 1.05%

Anti-blemish

What does the product description say?

If you’ve gone a little overboard on the actives, dried out your skin trying to banish a stubborn breakout (we’ve all been there) or suffer from a permanently dry complexion then it’s time for the Effaclar H Cleansing Cream for Sensitive Blemish-Prone Skin to save the day.

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.

niacinamide 0.95% - 1.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Is proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture. The concentration of about 2% is effective for supporting the skin barrier and evening out the skin tone. Concentration of 4-6% is better for helping with acne and balancing the sebum production

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

LHA gently exfoliates skin providing keratolytic action to encourage skin cells renewal.

Source: Supderdrug

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.
