Works for
CleansingSodium cocoyl glutamate, Cocamidopropyl betaine + 8 moreCleanses gently
“Face Wash”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cholesterol, cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, decyl glucoside, peg-150 distearate, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium lauroyl lactylate, sorbeth-230 tetraoleate, sorbitan laurate, 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.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: cocamidopropyl betaine, decyl glucoside
ExfoliationGluconolactoneWorks well
“This gentle exfoliating cleanser removes dead skin cells to reveal brighter, smoother looking skin.”
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: gluconolactone.

It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting in improved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores if used consistently (e.g over a period of 12 weeks) in high enough concentration. It can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals
