Patchology Clean AF On-the-Go Refreshing Facial Cleansing Wipes - 15 Count
Works for
CleansingPolyglyceryl-4 caprate, Polysorbate 20 + 2 moreCleanses gently
“These refreshing facial cleansing wipes instantly remove makeup, sweat and dirt.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glyceryl arachidonate, hydrogenated lecithin, polyglyceryl-4 caprate, polysorbate 20) 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.

A stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C

Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect
