How it works

The product functions by using micro-beads to exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and helping to unclog pores. Benzoyl Peroxide serves as the antibacterial agent targeting acne to address current blemishes and potentially prevent future breakouts. Acrylates/C10 30 Alkyl Crosspolymer forms a film over the skin which can help in maintaining a clean surface. C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate acts as an emollient to give a smooth feel. Glycerin helps in retaining skin moisture as a humectant, while Menthol provides a cooling sensation. Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate and Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate are cleansing agents that aid in removing dirt and oil from the skin. Zinc Lactate functions as a skin conditioner, contributing to overall skin appearance.
