Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

Lactic Acid is an AHA that is derived from fermenting lactose, a carbohydrate from milk. It removes the top layer of old and dead skin cells and helps increase cell turnover.

Benefits of Lactic Acid are that it can help to reduce large pores and reduce the effects of aging. Some potential downsides are that it can be bad for dry skin, cause irritation, worsen eczema, and worsen rosacea.

Not only does it help exfoliate the skin, it helps strengthen the skin's barrier. When applied, lactic acid helps the skin create ceramides.

Lactic acid is an over-the-counter chemical exfoliant that comes from the fermentation of lactose — a carbohydrate found in milk.

Legend has it that Cleopatra used to bathe in sour milk to help reduce wrinkles.

not for oily/acne prone skin
bought this cleanser and moisturizer and after reviewing the ingredients, we also believe the oleic and stearic acid (which alot of BYOMA products have) made my boyfriend (sensitive/acne prone/oily skin) have soooo many break outs so we will be replacing these products immediately. I will continue to use the products as I have normal skin so so far so good no major changes.

i had such high hopes for this brand and cleanser and it did feel nice at first. it's not stripping and gets the job done, but ever since i started using this cleanser along with the gel moisturizer from byoma, i started breaking out. i had no issues with their clarifying and brightening serums but i checked my whole routine to see why i am breaking out so much and i think the sodium chloride in this cleanser and the oleic acid in literally almost all of byoma's products are partially responsible for this. it could be something else but i personally won't be repurchasing anything from them just in case it really was their products breaking me out.
