MOTHER MADE Exfoliating Aqua Peel Gel With Green Tea
Works for
MoisturizingSodium hyaluronate, Chlorella vulgaris extract + 5 moreWorks
“Its fine scrubs create a smooth, hydrated complexion.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
anhydroxylitol, arginine.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: arginine.
Evens skin toneMorus alba bark extractNot delivered
“Contains Vitamin C for brightening effect, and Green Tea Extract to soothe the irritated skin.”
This product contains ingredients (morus alba bark extract) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
ExfoliationSalix nigra bark extract, AllantoinNot delivered
“Product name: Exfoliating Aqua Peel Gel With Green Tea”
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.
