Eskinol Advanced Pimple Fighting Facial Cleanser Dermaclear 75ml

What's the verdict?

• Water (Solvent)

  Acts as the main carrier in the cleanser; neutral effect on skin as it helps deliver active ingredients and rinse away impurities without adding benefits or significant risks.

• Salicylic Acid (Anti-Acne Agent/BHA)Beneficial

  Beneficial for unclogging pores, reducing pimples, drying acne lesions quickly and lightening marks through gentle exfoliation, though it may increase sun sensitivity or cause dryness in higher amounts.

• Sodium Laureth Sulfate (Surfactant/Cleansing Agent)Caution

  Strong cleanser that removes oil and dirt effectively but known to disrupt skin barrier, leading to dryness, tightness or irritation; caution advised for sensitive or acne-prone skin due to potential for inflammation.

• Cocamidopropyl Betaine (Foaming/Surfactant Agent)Caution

  Milder foaming agent that improves lather and reduces overall harshness but can cause allergic contact dermatitis or eye irritation in users sensitive to coconut-derived ingredients.

• Glycerin (Humectant/Moisturizer)Beneficial

  Beneficial as it helps retain skin moisture and counters the drying effects of surfactants, supporting skin hydration and barrier function after cleansing.

• Fragrance (Scent Component)Caution

  Provides appealing aroma but is a frequent cause of skin sensitization, allergic reactions and irritation on facial skin, particularly for those with reactive or acne-prone conditions.

• Menthol (Cooling/Sensory Agent)Caution

  Delivers a refreshing cooling feel that may temporarily soothe but can irritate, sting or exacerbate inflammation on broken skin or in sensitive individuals.

• Phenoxyethanol (Preservative)

  Maintains product safety by inhibiting bacterial growth; generally well-tolerated in low concentrations but may cause mild skin irritation or contact allergy in some users.
