Liz Earle Your Daily Routine with Skin Repair Light Cream
Works for
CleansingGlyceryl stearate citrate, Cera alba + 6 moreCleanses gently
“100ml Cleanse & Polish™ Hot Cloth Cleanser 2x Pure Cotton Cloth 200ml Instant Boost™ Skin Tonic 50ml Skin Repair™ Light Moisturiser 75ml Gentle Face Exfoliator”
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, cetearyl glucoside, glyceryl stearate citrate, peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil, polysorbate 60, sorbitan stearate, xanthan gum) 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.
ExfoliationAllantoinNot delivered
“Plus, reveal smoother-looking skin by adding Gentle Face Exfoliator to your routine 2-3 times a week.”
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.
