What does the product description say?
Glowing Makeup Removing Wipes
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (polysorbate 20, sodium cocoyl hydrolyzed soy protein) 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.
Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
---|---|---|---|
polysorbate 20 | HIGH | ||
sodium cocoyl hydrolyzed soy protein | HIGH |
Other benefit: Exfoliation
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.

glycolic acid | HIGH |
