See a mistake?
What does the product description say?
The fresh, liquid cleanser is concentrated with AHA’s, natural fruit acids that gently exfoliate the skin, whilst a blend of Aloe Vera and Vitamin B deliver hydration to the complexion and regulate excess oil production.
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: glycolic acid.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| glycolic acid | HIGH | | |
| tartaric acid | MEDIUM | | |
| lactic acid | HIGH | | |
