We don't have a description for Acrylamide/Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Copolymer yet.
Isohexadecane is added to enhance texture, emulsify, and to help cleanse. It is an isoparrafin. It is a component of petrolatum.
Due to its large size, Isohexadecane is not absorbed by the skin. Instead, it sits on top and acts as an emollient. Emollients help keep your skin soft and smooth by trapping moisture within.
Isohexadecane is often used in products designed to help oily skin. It is lightweight and non-greasy while helping to moisturize. When mixed with silicones, it gives a product a silky feel.

Bye Acne
Very aggressive but very effective (Not as aggressive as the Clindoxyl). Benzoyl peroxide is no joke! I have used on my back acne and on the hormonal acne on my face, both worked perfectly. But never forget the moisturizer! Always follow the instructions written on the box and you will have no problems.
