What can the product work for?
Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
Utilising Probiotic Enzymes, the skin-refining exfoliator performs a deep pore-cleansing action that expertly dissolves dirt and impurities, whilst softening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for smoother, younger-looking skin.
glycolic acid
0.6% -
0.95%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH
An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps to remove the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin reveling a more even, smoother complexation. It is also able to stimulate collagen production with long-term use. Could help to reduce pore congestion. It can be irritating to the skin. Apply sunscreen daily if using products with glycolic acid
lactic acid
1.1% -
1.4%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Insufficient!
An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)
