CleansingSodium cocoyl glutamate, Caprylyl/capryl glucoside + 3 moreCleanses gently
“Infused with a generous dose of our 4-in-1 Essential Face Tonic formula, they clean, exfoliate, soothe and hydrate - leaving your skin feeling refreshed, firm and alive.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (caprylyl/capryl glucoside, glyceryl caprylate, polyglyceryl-6 oleate, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium surfactin) 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.

“Actively exfoliating dead skin cells and unclogging pores (3% natural AHA/BHA complex), these cleansing pads also help firm, soothe irritation and accelerate healing.”
Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
ExfoliationSalix nigra bark extractNot delivered
“Infused with a generous dose of our 4-in-1 Essential Face Tonic formula, they clean, exfoliate, soothe and hydrate - leaving your skin feeling refreshed, firm and alive.”
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.
