CleansingCetearyl alcohol, Cetearyl glucoside + 1 moreCleanses gently
“cleanser features a trio of oils which lift away dirt and makeup with ease while protecting the skin’s delicate oil and PH balance.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, cetearyl glucoside, sodium stearoyl glutamate) 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.
ExfoliationLactic acid ~0.2–0.75%, below the ~2% it needsUnder-dosed
“The dual-textured cloth allows you to switch between a gently exfoliating muslin for thorough cleansing and an ultra-soft terry side for more sensitive areas.”
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.
