This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cera alba, cetearyl alcohol, polysorbate 60, sorbitan stearate) 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.

cera alba 2.6% - 3.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Forms a protective barrier that holds water and keeps dry skin hydrated. Keeps an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, and increases the thickness of a product. Can be an allergen

cetearyl alcohol 3% - 3.6%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: Medium

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture

polysorbate 60 1.4% - 1.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps oil and water mix together

rosmarinus officinalis leaf extract 0.65% - 0.95%

Concentration: Insufficient!

Can be helpful in reducing inflammation in skin, including inflamed acne. It can be irritating

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

Key Benefits Used with the pure cotton cloth it gently exfoliates, lifting away dead skin cells to reveal smoother, clearer and brighter-looking skin. Suitable for all skin types. Cruelty-free. Cloth not included

Source: Boots

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.
