ExfoliationSide benefit the brand mentions · Lactic acidWorks well
“The Pure Lotion provides perfect cleansing and make-up removal by gently eliminating surface dead cells.”
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: lactic acid.
