How it works

The cleanser utilizes glycolic acid and lactic acid, both of which are alpha-hydroxy acids, to chemically exfoliate the skin by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to be easily removed. Rice powder serves as a physical exfoliant, further aiding in the removal of dead skin cells and debris. Coco-Caprylate/Caprate acts as an emollient, helping to maintain the skin’s moisture balance. Stearyl Alcohol functions as an emulsifier, ensuring that the formulation remains stable. Sodium Hydroxide adjusts the pH of the product to optimize the effectiveness of the acids. Sodium Laureth Sulfate acts as a surfactant, providing thorough cleansing. Finally, Sodium PCA is a humectant, helping the skin retain moisture. Together, these ingredients aim to improve the skin's appearance by making it look clearer and more radiant.
