β€œTo be mixed with water, this transformative powder lathers into a creamy foam cleanser that doubles as a gentle exfoliator.”
Source: Lookfantastic

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate, sodium lauroyl glutamate) 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.

Disodium lauryl sulfosuccinateEffect: HighUsed as a cleansing agent. Helps water and oil mix together~3.1–4.6%
Sodium lauroyl glutamateEffect: HighUsed as a cleansing agent. It creates foam~1.7–2.6%

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.

AllantoinEffect: Low, below effective doseHelps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated~0.1–0.35%
