Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Rose Facial Cleansing Gel
Source: From product name
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco/oleamidopropyl betaine, sodium olivamphoacetate, 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/oleamidopropyl betaine
A cleansing ingredients. Could be an allergen
Used to create a thicker product consistency
Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Rose geranium provides the beautifully delicate scent and it also lends its astringent benefits as well as tightening, brightening and removing dead skin cells.
Source: Face the future
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.
