"Youth To The People - Yerba Mate Resurfacing + Exfoliating Energy Facial with Enzymes" could be helpful for: Moisturizing, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.

Ingredient callouts

This product contains acids (lactic acid 0.90% - 1.10%). Their concentration is low, and they will not have a strong exfoliating effect. Instead, they work to support the skin natural acid mantle and to attract water (as humectants). Lactic acid is particularly good in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin and improving the skin barrier.
Humectants (glycerin 1.20% - 1.50%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

What can the product work for?

Does not work for

Exfoliation

Moisturizing

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: glycerin, polyglycerin-6.

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: helianthus annuus seed oil, carthamus tinctorius seed oil.

carthamus tinctorius seed oil 3.1% - 3.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An emollient that helps soften the skin and might help calm down inflammation

helianthus annuus seed oil 0.15% - 0.3%

glycerin 1.2% - 1.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

What does the product description say?

Yerba Mate Resurfacing + Exfoliating Energy Facial with Enzymes
