CleansingPeg-7 caprylic/capric glycerides, Decyl glucoside + 1 moreCleanses gently
“This multi-tasking toner and cleansing water has quickly become a cult favorite, as well as a Soko Glam Best of K-Beauty Winner.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (decyl glucoside, peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil, peg-7 caprylic/capric glycerides) 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: decyl glucoside
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“The Son & Park Beauty Water is not just a cleanser but it mildly exfoliates with papaya extract to help sweep away dead skin cells, and with witch hazel water's calming benefit, it helps to reveal brighter skin tone and smoother texture.”
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.
