This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (hydroxypropyl guar, polysorbate 20) 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.

hydroxypropyl guar 1.5% - 2.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Used to create a thicker product consistency and stabilize emulsions

polysorbate 20 2.6% - 3.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps oil and water mix together

Anti-blemish

Manuka Honey & Oil Blemish Stick

Source: From product name

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.

centella asiatica leaf extract 0.4% - 0.95%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant extract that has been shown to be able to reduce inflammation in skin, support restoration of skin barrier function, as well as support collagen production. It can be irritating to sensitive skin. Might be helpful in preventing stretch marks. It could, however, itself be irritating.

aloe barbadensis leaf juice 5.1% - 7.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin

Exfoliation

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.
