Works for
CleansingMyristic acid, Stearic acid + 9 moreCleanses gently
“Deeply removes impurities, dirt, makeup while providing nourishment to keep your skin moisturized.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, glyceryl stearate, glycol distearate, glycol stearate, lauric acid, myristic acid, peg-100 stearate, potassium cocoyl glycinate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, sorbitan olivate, stearic acid) 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, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“Peeling effect which helps removes blackhead and excess sebum.”
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.
