Image Skincare Clear Cell Medicated Acne Facial Scrub
Ingredients explainedThe gold standard topical ingredient in treating acne. There is no phenomenon cure for acne (we practise really wish for i, *sigh*), merely Benzoyl Peroxide (BP) is probably the closest thing we take. But, every bit usual, big furnishings come with large side effects, so nosotros think BP is best used as a last resort (at least, in the topical treatment field).
The good affair nigh BP is that information technology is amazingly constructive against inflammatory-type acne. Non so much against blackheads or whiteheads, only against acne that is caused past the evil bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes (and that is most types of acne). Autonomously from being antibacterial, information technology is also anti-inflammatory, keratolytic and wound-healing, all of which are properties that arrive so darn effective confronting spots.
Another big pro of BP is that there is no bacterial resistance to it, pregnant if information technology works one time it will continue to piece of work. Antibiotics are too a common style to treat acne, merely antibiotic-resistant P. acnes are increasing worldwide. BP will probably help y'all even if antibiotics have stopped working, and the ii are also oftentimes combined for a more than complex acne therapy. Btw, BP plays nice not merely with antibiotics only besides with retinoids.
The side-effects function? BP works its antibacterial magic by being a powerful oxidizing agent,meaning it is a pro-oxidant. Every bit in the contrary of an antioxidant. BP literally generates evil ROS (reactive oxygen species) in the skin that kills P. acnes but too harms the surrounding skin cells. Ongoing BP-utilise ages your skin, which is why, we say, use it equally a concluding resort. If you practise use BP, please likewise use a skillful sunscreen and a good antioxidant serum to apologise to your skin (btw, these things are useful in any case). Utilise the BP treatment at night and the antioxidant serum in the morning then that they do not abolish each other out.
Another side result of BP is that it can be very skin drying. BP is an case where more than is not better. In fact, it is every bit effective at concentrations of ii.5, five.0 and x%, but the college the concentration the more irritating and drying side effects occur. Then using BP at ii.5% percentage is the ideal amount. Another side effect which is skilful to know is that BP tin can bleach bedsheets and dress. Be careful with your expensive satin bedsheets.
Overall, Benzoyl Peroxide is a uniquely effective topical acne treatment, but it comes at a toll. Use it equally a last resort and for adept measure out (and with plenty of moisturizers, sunscreen, and antioxidant serum).
Also-called: H2o | What-it-does: solvent
Proficient quondam water, aka H2O. The most common skincare ingredient of all. You lot can usually find information technology right in the very beginning spot of the ingredient list, meaning it's the biggest thing out of all the stuff that makes up the product.
It's mainly a solvent for ingredients that do non like to deliquesce in oils but rather in water.
Once inside the pare, information technology hydrates, only not from the outside - putting pure water on the peel (hello long baths!) is drying.
One more matter: the water used in cosmetics is purified and deionized (information technology means that almost all of the mineral ions inside it is removed). Similar this, the products can stay more than stable over time.
Nosotros don't have description for this ingredient even so.
A thickening and foam-boasting co-surfactant with amphoteric structure meaning that its head contains both a positively and a negatively charged part (surfactants are most ordinarily anionic meaning their head has a negative charge). It'south very mild and gentle, comes from kokosnoot oil and is readily biodegradable.
What-it-does: buffering | Irritancy: 0 | Comedogenicity: 2
It's a little helper ingredient that helps to set the pH of a cosmetic formulation to be simply right. Information technology's very alkaline (y'all know the reverse of beingness very acidic): a 1% solution has a pH of around 10.
It does non have the very all-time rubber reputation simply in general, you do not have to worry virtually it.
What is true is that if a production contains then-called Northward-nitrogenating agents (e.chiliad.: preservatives like 2-Bromo-ii-Nitropropane-1,3-Diol, 5-Bromo-5-Nitro- 1,3-Dioxane or sodium nitrate - and so expect out for things with nitro, nitra in the proper name) that together with TEA can form some not nice carcinogenic stuff (that is called nitrosamines). Just with proper conception that does not happen, TEA in itself is not a bad guy.
But let'south presume a bad combination of ingredients were used and the nitrosamines formed. :( Even in that case you are probably fine considering as far every bit nosotros know it cannot penetrate the skin.
Simply to be on the safe side, if you see Triethanolamine in an INCI and besides something with nitra, nitro in the name of it just skip the product, that cannot hurt.
We don't take clarification for this ingredient yet.
A big molecule created from repeated subunits (a polymer of acrylic acid) that magically converts a liquid into a nice gel formula. It unremarkably has to be neutralized with a base (such equally sodium hydroxide) for the thickening to occur and it creates mucilaginous, clear gels that also feel dainty and not-tacky on the skin. No wonder, information technology is a very popular and common ingredient. Typically used at 1% or less in nigh formulations.

The essential oil created by steam distilling the leaves of the Eucalyptus tree. It's a colorless, pale yellow oil with a camphoraceous smell used traditionally in vapor rubs to treat coughs. Its proper name-giving main component is eucalyptol (also chosen one,viii-cineole, 80-91%) that has significant antibacterial and expectorant properties.
Among essential oils, Eucalyptus Globulus counts every bit rather non-sensitising with an EU sensitizer total of 5% (due to limonene). However, if your pare is super-sensitive or you lot are allergic to fragrances, it is yet meliorate to avoid it.
What-it-does: soothing | Irritancy: 0 | Comedogenicity: 0
Super common soothing ingredient. It can exist found naturally in the roots & leaves of the comfrey institute, merely more often than not what's in the cosmetic products is produced synthetically.
It'due south not only soothing but information technology' also skin-softening and protecting and can promote wound healing.
If you take spotted ethylhexylglycerin on the ingredient list, almost probably you volition see there also the current It-preservative, phenoxyethanol. They are skilful friends because ethylhexylglycerin can boost the effectiveness of phenoxyethanol (and other preservatives) and as an added bonus it feels nice on the skin likewise.
Also, it's an effective deodorant and a medium spreadingemollient.
The famous tea tree oil. 1 of the best known essential oils which comes from Australia where information technology has been used for almost 100 years for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory actions. Legend has it that the medicinal benefits of the oil were considered so important that Australian soldiers were supplied with some tea tree oil in their Earth State of war II military kit.
Similar to other essential oils, tea tree oil is a very complex chemic mixture consisting of nigh 100 components,the major ones being terpinen -4- ol (40%), γ-Terpinene (23%) and α-Terpinene (x%). Terpinen-4-ol is considered to be the main agile component only as a great article in Clinical Microbiology Reviews states "while some TTO components may exist considered less active, none can be considered inactive" and most components contribute to TTO's strong antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal effects.
Regarding skincare and tea tree oil, its most well-known effect is probably being a well established anti-acne ingredient. Multiple studies confirm that TTO is effective against the evil acne-causing bacteria called P. acnes and the effectiveness of v% TTO gel is comparable to the gold standard anti-acne treatment, 5% Benzoyl Peroxidelotion. You need to be a bit more than patient with TTO, though, as its effects come slower but also with fewer side effects.
Regarding TTO and sensitive skin, we say that you should be careful. Even if your peel is not sensitive y'all should never put undiluted TTO on your skin. Luckily, information technology contains only very small amounts of the mutual allergens (such as limonene), but irritant and allergic reactions nonetheless happen, especially by oxidation products that occur in older or not properly stored oil. So if you have some pure TTO at home, know that storage matters, keep information technology in a absurd, dry out, night place and use it upward in a reasonable amount of fourth dimension.
Overall, we do non often give a goodie status to essential oils, only nosotros feel that TTO's unique antibacterial and anti-acne backdrop with its minimal allergen content warrant an exception. If your skin is acne-prone, TTO is something to experiment with.
This ingredient name is not according to the INCI-standard. :( What, why?!
We don't have description for this ingredient withal.
- A natural moisturizer that'due south also in our skin
- A super mutual, condom, effective and cheap molecule used for more than than l years
- Not merely a simple moisturizer but knows much more: keeps the skin lipids betwixt our skin cells in a healthy (liquid crystal) state, protects confronting irritation, helps to restore barrier
- Effective from equally low every bit iii% with fifty-fifty more benefits at higher concentrations up to 20-40% (around 10% is a good usability-effectiveness sweetness spot)

It's the yellow, solid stuff that you probably know from beeswax candles. It's a natural material produced past beloved bees to build their honeycomb.
As for skincare, it'southward used as an emollient and thickening agent. It's super common in lip balms and lipsticks.
A versatile and biodegradable cleansing amanuensis with high cleaning power and stiff foaming properties. Unfortunately, these two properties for a surfactant usually mean that it is harsh on the skin, which is the case hither also.
Sodium chloride is the fancy name of salt. Normal, everyday tabular array salt.
If (like to the states) you are in the weird habit of reading the label on your shower gel while taking a shower, you might have noticed that sodium chloride is well-nigh always on the ingredient list. The reason for this is that common salt acts as a fantastic thickener in cleansing formulas created with ionic cleansing agents (aka surfactants) such as Sodium Laureth Sulfate. A couple of percents (typically one-3%) turns a runny surfactant solution into a prissy gel texture.
If you are into chemistry (if not, we understand, just skip this paragraph), the reason is that electrolytes (you know, the Na+ and Cl- ions) screen the electrostatic repulsion betwixt the caput groups of ionic surfactants and thus support the formation of long shaped micelles (instead of spherical ones) that entangle like spaghetti, and viola, a gel is formed. However, too much of it causes the miracle called "salting out", and the surfactant solution goes runny again.
Other than that, salt besides works as an emulsion stabilizer in h2o-in-oil emulsions, that is when water droplets are dispersed in the outer oil (or silicone) phase. And concluding but non least, when salt is right at the first spot of the ingredient list (and is not dissolved), the product is unremarkably a body scrub where salt is thephysical exfoliating agent.
We don't have description for this ingredient withal.
Also-called: Mountain Arnica Extract | What-information technology-does: perfuming
A nice yellow flower living in the mountains. It has been used as a herbal medicine for centuries, though its outcome on skin is rather questionable. It's most famously used to treat bruisings, merely there are some studies that bear witness that it's non ameliorate than placebo (source: wikipedia). Also, some consider information technology to be anti-inflammatory, while other research shows that information technology tin can cause peel irritation.
Also-called: German Chamomile Flower Excerpt | What-it-does: soothing, antioxidant | Irritancy: 0 | Comedogenicity: 0
Chamomile probably needs no introduction equally it's ane of the well-nigh widely used medicinal herbs. You lot probably drink it regularly as a overnice, calming cup of tea and it's besides a regular on skincare ingredient lists.
Cosmetic companies use it mainly for its anti-inflammatory backdrop. It contains the terpenoids chamazulene and bisabolol both of which prove not bad anti-inflammatory action in creature studies. On acme of that chamomile likewise has some antioxidant activeness (thanks to another active ingredients called matricine, apigenin and luteolin).
Though chamomile is ordinarily a goodie for the skin, it's too not uncommon to accept an allergic reaction to information technology.
Nosotros don't accept clarification for this ingredient however.
- Green tea is one of the most researched natural ingredients
- The agile parts are called polyphenols, or more precisely catechins (EGCG being the most arable and most active catechin)
- There can be huge quality differences between green tea extracts. The good ones contain 50-xc% catechins (and oftentimes brand the product brown and requite it a distinctive smell)
- Dark-green tea is proven to exist a great antioxidant, UV protectant, anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic and antimicrobial
- Because of these crawly properties dark-green tea is a great selection for anti-aging and also for peel diseases including rosacea, acne and atopic dermatitis

Information technology's 1 of those things that assist your cosmetics not to become wrong too soon, aka a preservative. It'south non a strong ane and doesn't really work against leaner, just more than against mold and yeast. To practise that it has to break downwardly to its active course, sorbic acid. For that to happen, there has to be water in the product and the right pH value (pH three-4).
But even if everything is right, it's not enough on its own. If you lot see potassium sorbate you should see some other preservative adjacent to it too.
BTW, it'south too a food preservative and fifty-fifty has an East number, E202.
Information technology's pretty much the electric current Information technology-preservative. It'southward safe and gentle, but even more importantly, it'southward non a feared-past-everyone-mostly-without-scientific-reason paraben.
Information technology's non something new: it was introduced around 1950 and today it can be used upwards to 1% worldwide. It can be found in nature - in green tea - but the version used in cosmetics is constructed.
Other than having a expert safety profile and existence quite gentle to the skin information technology has some other advantages as well. It can exist used in many types of formulations every bit it has great thermal stability (can be heated upwardly to 85°C) and works on a wide range of pH levels (ph 3-10).
It's oft used together with ethylhexylglycerin as information technology nicely improves the preservative action of phenoxyethanol.
It's a little helper ingredient coming from corn, rice or murphy starch that tin can help to keep peel mat (absorbent), to stabilise emulsions, and to go on the product together (bounden).
Super mutual little helper ingredient thathelps products to remain nice and stable for a longer fourth dimension. It does so by neutralizing the metal ions in the formula (that usually become into at that place from h2o) that would otherwise crusade some not and so nice changes.
It is typically used in tiny amounts, around 0.1% or less.
We don't have description for this ingredient nevertheless.
Also-called: Indian Frankincense Extract | What-it-does: soothing
The extract coming from the Indian Frankincense, a medium-sized tree native to India. Mostly the glue-resin is used that is obtained from an incision made on the trunk of the tree. It contains about30-60% resin, 5-10% fragrant essential oil, and the residual is made up of polysaccharides (mostly arabinose, galactose, xylose).
The biologically about agile components of the resin are boswellic acids that haveanti-inflammatory properties. According to manufacturer info, the boswellic acids rich resin excerpt is also a potent inhibitor of elastase (an enzyme that breaks downward proteins, including collagen) and has antiGAGase activity (protecting the important natural moisturizing factors, glycosaminoglycans in the skin) meaning that information technology can aid the peel to stay firm for a longer time.
The reason why we did not award Boswellia Serrata Excerpt a goodie condition is that this INCI name is not clear enough on the type of the excerpt. It might be a boswellic acids rich, anti-inflammatory extract (that is a goodie) or information technology might be a fragrant essential oil rich extract used in perfumery or aromatherapy that can exist a problem for sensitive skin types.
Usually, a glycerin or glycol based extract of honey that has similar properties to pure beloved, i.e. moisturizing, soothing and antibacterial magic properties.
If yous wanna know more nearly honey in cosmetics, we have a shiny explanation hither >>
