ExfoliationSalicylic acidWorks well
“This gentle gel cleanser has a light foaming formula that helps to control oil production while lightly chemically exfoliating the skin, for a clean and clear finish.”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: salicylic acid.
