What does the product description say?
Sebiaclear Gentle Foaming Gel
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-betaine, disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, peg-120 methyl glucose dioleate, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, sodium laureth sulfate, 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-betaine, sodium laureth sulfate
Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
---|---|---|---|
coco-betaine | HIGH | ||
disodium laureth sulfosuccinate | HIGH | ||
peg-120 methyl glucose dioleate | HIGH |
Promise: Anti-blemish
What does the product description say?
Achieve a clear, healthy-looking complexion with SVR Sebiaclear Gentle Foaming Gel ; a soap-free formula that purifies and decongests skin without over-drying or uncomfortable tightness.
This product contains ingredients (gluconolactone) that could help reduce blemishes and clogged pores in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
---|---|---|---|
gluconolactone | MEDIUM |
Other benefit: Exfoliation
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: gluconolactone.
Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
---|---|---|---|
gluconolactone | HIGH | ||
lactic acid | HIGH |

1.5% - 1.9% | |
A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting in improved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores if used consistently (e.g over a period of 12 weeks) in high enough concentration. It can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals | |

0.5% - 0.75% | |
An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome) | |
