Simple Daily Skin Detox SOS Clearing Booster Matte Gel
Works for
CleansingSodium cocoyl isethionate, Lauryl glucoside + 8 moreCleanses gently
“means its packed full of purifying and skin-loving ingredients so its not just an effective cleanser for oily skin, but also leaves skin feeling soft and healthy too.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (ceteth-25, coco-glucoside, glyceryl oleate, glycol stearate, lauryl glucoside, oleth-10, peg-120 methyl glucose dioleate, sodium cocoamphoacetate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, xanthan gum) 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: coco-glucoside, glyceryl oleate
Anti-blemishZinc pcaNot delivered
“Simple cleansing stick is made with a detoxifying blend of thyme, zinc, witch hazel and bamboo charcoal to effectively remove excess oil and help prevent blemishes.”
This product contains ingredients (zinc pca) that could help reduce blemishes and clogged pores in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
