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.

cetearyl alcohol 1.7% - 2.1%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: Medium

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture

cetearyl glucoside 0.65% - 1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps water and oil in the product mix well together and improves product texture

sodium stearoyl glutamate 0.3% - 0.55%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps oil and water mix together

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

This cleanser also comes with a Dual Flyer Cloth to lift away dead skin cells and leave a smooth, even complexion.

Source: Naturisimo

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.

lactic acid 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)
