“Specially designed for those with balanced to dry skin, this exfoliating facial cleanser is your ultimate skincare hero, packed with a soothing blend of rich, ripe avocados and golden honey.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (carbomer, ceteareth-20, cetearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, cocamidopropyl betaine, glyceryl stearate, glyceryl stearate se, peg-100 stearate, polysorbate 60, triethanolamine) 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
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“This power-duo blend of skin-smoothing walnut shell and cornmeal powder helps to deeply exfoliate and remove impurities for a clean, glowing complexion.”
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.
