“This facial scrub cleanses deep down to help eliminate pore-clogging dirt, oil and make-up to leave skin purified.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, sodium laureth sulfate) 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, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, sodium laureth sulfate
Anti-blemishNiacinamide ~0.1–0.35%Under-dosed
“Ultra fine bamboo particles to gently exfoliate away dead skin cells and refine pores, while helping to absorb excess oil for an instant mattifying effect.”

“Daily Skin Detox Pore Polishing Face Scrub for Oily Skin”
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.
