What does the product description say?

Active Clean Gel Cleanser

Source: From product name

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

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.

polyglyceryl-10 laurate 1% - 1.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps water and oil mix together

Exfoliation

This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: glycolic acid.

glycolic acid 0.35% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps to remove the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin reveling a more even, smoother complexation. It is also able to stimulate collagen production with long-term use. Could help to reduce pore congestion. It can be irritating to the skin. Apply sunscreen daily if using products with glycolic acid

lactic acid 0.6% - 1.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)

salicylic acid 0.05% - 0.25%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Used for skin exfoliation. It has an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effect, helps to unclog pores, prevent blemishes and speed up healing of the existing ones. Sometimes referred to as a BHA (beta-hydroxy acid)

Anti-blemish

What does the product description say?

Contains lactic acid, glycolic acid, and 0.5% of salicylic acid that help clean the pores and excessive sebum.
