Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Alpha Grapefruit Cleansing Lotion Toner
Source: Mario Badescu
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin.
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.
Helps oil and water mix together
Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Alpha Grapefruit Cleansing Lotion is a mild exfoliating and brightening alcohol-free toner.
Source: Mario Badescu
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.
