Key actives
Cleansing
What does the product description say?
This facial scrub cleanses deep down to help eliminate pore-clogging dirt, oil and make-up to leave skin purified.
Source: Feelunique
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
Helps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen
Helps oils and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent
Works as a foaming cleansing agent
Anti-blemish
What does the product description say?
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.
Source: Feelunique
Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
Is proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture. The concentration of about 2% is effective for supporting the skin barrier and evening out the skin tone. Concentration of 4-6% is better for helping with acne and balancing the sebum production
Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Daily Skin Detox Pore Polishing Face Scrub for Oily Skin
Source: From product name
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.
