We don't have a description for Sodium Cocoamphoacetate yet.
Citric Acid is an AHA derived from citrus fruits (think oranges, lemons, and limes!).
As an AHA, Citric Acid removes the top layer of skin cells from the newer layer of skin underneath. This helps skin to remove dark spots and even out skin tone.
If you spot Citric Acid near the end of an ingredient list, it's likely there as a pH adjuster rather than an active ingredient.

Easily one of my favourite cleansers! Skin doesn’t feel tight and uneasy after patting the face dry. Used this during one of my worst rosacea flare ups, and it worked great.
I have acne-prone sensitive combination skin, which can be hard to clean as some products leave my skin feeling too dry or not cleaning well enough. This foam is gentle and I feel it really cleans up my skin while not leaving it dry.
I used this during a rosacea flare up and it helped a lot! I recommend this one also during the winter for combination skin since its really gentle with the skin.

I've used it in the past and I really liked it. It was very drying (as most BHA cleansers usually are), but it was very effective. It works beautifully if you use it with other hydrating steps in your routine.
recommended by my dermatologist. Helped significantly reducing acne. Can be drying though
