Chances are, you eat sodium chloride every day. Sodium Chloride is also known as table salt.
This ingredient has many purposes in skincare: thickener, emulsifier, and exfoliator.
You'll most likely find this ingredient in cleansers where it is used to create a gel-like texture. As an emulsifier, it also prevents ingredients from separating.
There is much debate on whether this ingredient is comedogenic. The short answer - comedogenic ratings don't tell the whole story. Learn more about comegodenic ratings here.
The concensus about this ingredient causing acne seems to be divided. Research is needed to understand if this ingredient does cause acne.
Scrubs may use salt as the primary exfoliating ingredient.
Learn more about Sodium ChlorideCitric 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.

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

This product was the start of my skincare routine. It helped to remove all the fungal acne I was experiencing on my forehead and cheeks. After this I was able to start my journey on finding products just to maintain my skin. Loved it!
Got rid of my fungal acne literally within one use. The difference was insane. My face was so much smoother, less inflamed, so many little bumps were gone that I thought would never go away. Highly Highly Highly recommend at least TRYING it if you think you may have fungal acne, just use it as a regular face wash and let it sit for a few minutes, then wash off. I wouldn't use anything else for the Show more
