Creamy Gentle Exfoliating Pore Perfecting Cleanser with Salicylic Acid
Source: From product name
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamidopropyl dimethylamine, coco-glucoside, coconut acid, glyceryl behenate, glyceryl caprylate, lauric acid, lauryl glucoside, myristic acid, palmitic acid, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate, sodium methyl oleoyl taurate, stearic acid) 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.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamidopropyl dimethylamine, coco-glucoside

Exfoliation

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.
