What does the product description say?

Fortified Cleanser

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 (ammonium lauryl sulfate, cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol) 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: ammonium lauryl sulfate

ammonium lauryl sulfate 6.4% - 7.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

cetyl alcohol 2.6% - 3.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together

stearyl alcohol 2.3% - 2.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An emollient that helps soften the skin

Anti-blemish

What does the product description say?

Deep cleans and replenishes skin.

This product might be able to help reduce blemishes and clogged pores because it contains chitosan.

The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: retinyl palmitate

chitosan 0.35% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Inhibits acne-causing bacteria on the surface of the skin. Can help to reduce inflammation caused by bacteria. Helps neutralize free radicals in skin. Helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin

retinyl palmitate 0.95% - 1.15%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

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

camellia sinensis leaf extract 1.8% - 2.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation
