Works for
MoisturizingGlycine soja seed extract, Propylene glycol + 4 moreNot delivered
“It nourishes and soothes skin as it exfoliates with various natural ingredients.”
Does not contain the most effective ingredients for moisturization. The emollients (glycine soja seed extract) can help soften the upper layer of the skin. Keep in mind though that this product lacks humectants that attract water. You might want to use a separate product with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin in addition (use before this product for the best results).
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“A gommage peeling gel that gently exfoliates the skin for a silky smooth finish.”
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.
