the SKIN HOUSE Homme Innofect Control Foam Cleanser
Works for
CleansingDiisostearyl malate, Triethanolamine + 13 moreCleanses gently
“Its rich foam exfoliates and removes skin impurities including excessive sebum for clean and smooth skin.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (arachidyl glucoside, carbomer, cetearyl alcohol, diisostearyl malate, glyceryl stearate, hydrogenated lecithin, isohexadecane, peg-100 stearate, peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil, polysorbate 60, polysorbate 80, potassium cetyl phosphate, sorbitan stearate, 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.
ExfoliationAllantoinNot delivered
“Its rich foam exfoliates and removes skin impurities including excessive sebum for clean and smooth skin.”
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.
