Works for
ExfoliationMaris salNot delivered
“Multi-fruit acids - comprising of five natural botanicals including bilberry, sugar cane, orange and lemon - rapidly exfoliate by increasing cell turnover.”
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.
Anti-blemishKaolin, Pistacia lentiscus gumNot delivered
“A multi-fruit acid blend of Bilberry, Orange and Lemon decongest clogged pores for a smoother, more refined appearance.”
Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
Anti-agingNot advertised by the brand · Aspartic acid, Serine + 2 moreMay help
This product contains aspartic acid, serine, threonine. These ingredients might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
MoisturizingSide benefit the brand mentions · Glycerin, Cetearyl alcohol + 15 moreWorks
“Infused with natural Kaolin Clay and Malachite (a precious mineral extract), the clarifying face mask expertly draws out dirt, excess oil and environmental pollutants, without stripping moisture.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
alanine, arginine.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: arginine, cetearyl alcohol.
