Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Black Cleansing Balm
Source: From product name
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin.
Keep in mind that cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
Helps create a thicker or gel-like product texture. It is not a surfactant but can be used in gentle cleansing formulations
Anti-blemish
What does the product description say?
Black Cleansing Balm
Source: From product name
Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
In addition, the bamboo granules act as a natural scrubbing agent to remove dirt and dead skin cells.
Source: Yesstyle
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.
