“Enjoy soft, hydrated skin with Tatcha The Deep Cleanse, an oil-free facial wash that provides skin with a deep, gentle exfoliation with the help of natural luffa fruit.”

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-betaine, polyglyceryl-10 dioleate, polyglyceryl-2 sesquicaprylate, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium lauroyl hydrolyzed silk) 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 cocoyl glutamateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~9–11%
Coco-betaineEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent. Can be allergenic~2.3–2.8%

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.
