Charcoal and Mandelic Acid Fix Cleansing Bar

Source: From product name

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coconut acid, sodium cocoate) 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.

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

Enriched with 1% activated Charcoal Extract, the formula works to exfoliate the skin’s surface, uplifting dead skin cells and excess oil to leave the surface purified and mattified.

Source: Lookfantastic

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: mandelic acid.

mandelic acid 0.35% - 0.85%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps shed the upper layer of dead cells from the surface of the skin revealing smoother, brighter skin. It can help to reduce hyperpigmentation. It has anti-bacterial properties, and might help to reduce blemishes, as well as fine lines and wrinkles. It is considered to be gentler than glycolic acid

Anti-blemish

What does the product description say?

Multi-talented, Shea Butter also has blemish fighting properties, helping to keep your complexion clean and clear.

Source: Lookfantastic

This product contains ingredients (mandelic acid) that could help reduce blemishes and clogged pores in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.

mandelic acid 0.35% - 0.85%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Helps shed the upper layer of dead cells from the surface of the skin revealing smoother, brighter skin. It can help to reduce hyperpigmentation. It has anti-bacterial properties, and might help to reduce blemishes, as well as fine lines and wrinkles. It is considered to be gentler than glycolic acid
