CleansingCocamidopropyl betaine, Sorbitan sesquicaprylate + 7 moreCleanses gently
“Achieve a clear and refreshed complexion Lierac Double Cleanser Cream-in-Foam , a lightweight and luxurious makeup remover.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetyl alcohol, cocamidopropyl betaine, coconut acid, potassium cetyl phosphate, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, sorbitan sesquicaprylate, sucrose cocoate, triethanolamine) 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: cocamidopropyl betaine
ExfoliationSide benefit the brand mentions · Glycolic acid, Lactic acidWorks well
“Performing a dual cleanse above and below the skin surface, the foaming cleanser works to eliminate impurities, excess oil and bacteria from deep within pores to smooth and refine the skin texture.”
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: glycolic acid.
