Facial Cleanser

Source: From product name

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin.

It contains the following cleansing agents that tend to be harsh on the skin: sodium laureth sulfate.

The following cleansing agents are typically mild, but still can cause an irritation or allergy for some people cocamidopropyl betaine.

Keep in mind that cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.

cocamidopropyl betaine 4.3% - 5.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen

hydroxypropyl methylcellulose 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Used to create a thicker product consistency and stabilize the formulation

sodium laureth sulfate 10% - 12%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: Medium

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Works as a foaming cleansing agent

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

This gel facial cleanser infused with vitamin C, microbeads and ginseng effectively cleanses and exfoliates your skin for a lovely glow.

Source: Target

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.

retinyl palmitate 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect
