St. Ives Radiant Skin Face Scrub Pink Lemon and Mandarin Orange
Works for
CleansingSodium methyl 2-sulfolaurate, Decyl glucoside + 2 moreCleanses gently
“This exfoliating cleanser and facial scrub is made with 100% natural exfoliants.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, decyl glucoside, disodium 2-sulfolaurate, sodium methyl 2-sulfolaurate) 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, decyl glucoside
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“This facial scrub provides moderate exfoliation to slough away dull skin to reveal glowing 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.
