“MAXCLINIC Max Change Oil Foam is a new concept all-in-one cleanser that thoroughly cleanses skin impurities and makeup residues while keeping the skin moisturized.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (babassuamidopropyl betaine, carbomer, ceteth-4, cholesterol, cocamidopropyl betaine, hydrogenated lecithin, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, peg-5 rapeseed sterol, peg-6 caprylic/capric glycerides, potassium cetyl phosphate, potassium cocoate, potassium cocoyl glycinate, quillaja saponaria bark extract, sodium cocoyl apple amino acids, sodium cocoyl glycinate, sodium lauroyl oat amino acids, 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

Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect

Product summary
"MAXCLINIC - Max Change Oil Foam" is effective for: Moisturizing
This product could be helpful for: Anti-aging, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.
Ingredient callouts
- this product includes a form of Retinoids (vitamin A) - retinyl palmitate 0.25% - 0.40%, but this type of vitamin A is not very effective. It could in theory help with fine lines and wrinkles, but the effect is most likely minimal.
- Ceramides (ceramide np 0.30% - 0.55%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
- Humectants (alanine 0.25% - 0.45%, sucrose 0.40% - 0.65%, sodium hyaluronate 0.65% - 1.00% and glycerin 4.20% - 5.20%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
