Learn more about Lauric AcidSodium Citrate is the sodium salts of citric acid. In skincare, it is used to alter pH levels and acts as a preservative.
Its main functions are to maintain the pH of a product and neutralize metal ions.
The acidity of our skin is maintained by our glands and skin biome; normal pH level of skin is slightly acidic (~4.75-5.5).
Being slightly acidic allows our skin to create an "acid mantle". This acid mantle is a thin barrier that protects our skin from bacteria and contaminants.

Here's what our community thinks
SKIN1004 Poremizing Deep Cleansing Foam 42 ingredients
Smell is pretty unpleasant. This cleanser can sometimes help, but also can irritate my skin & leave it red after use. It doesn’t feel the most gentle on the skin compared to other cleansers. Doesn’t leave my skin feeling too smooth or moisturized either :( On a positive note, it does lather really well!

I think the sourcing of centella makes a difference in the quality of the product and I don't think any company has a better centella than Skin1004 since their entire product line is centered around this ingredient. I like all of their toners but this one is my favorite since the centella is fermented. This is my go-to toner because it feels so great on my skin.
