CleansingPolyglyceryl-6 caprylate, Polyglyceryl-4 caprate + 2 moreCleanses gently
“Pore Cleansing Pad”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glyceryl caprylate, polyglyceryl-4 caprate, polyglyceryl-6 caprylate, sodium cocoyl apple amino acids) 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.

“Pore Cleansing Pad”
This product contains ingredients (pantothenic acid) that could help reduce blemishes and clogged pores in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
ExfoliationGluconolactoneNot delivered
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.
