This ingredient has emollient and emulsifying properties.
As an emollient, lecithen helps soften the skin and creates a barrier to keep moisture in.
As an emulsifier, it also helps prevent water and oil ingredients from separating. Lecithin can also help ingredients be better absorbed by the skin.
This is because the phospholipids in lecithin produce liposomes. Liposomes help other ingredients get through the skin barrier.
Depending on the source of this ingredient, lecithin may not be fungal acne safe. This is because some sources of lecithin come from soybean oil, which may feed the malassezia yeast that feeds fungal acne.
We recommend reaching out to the brand you are purchasing from to inquire about the source of their lecithin.

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.

Godawful packaging. That alone takes off two stars.
The gel cream itself has a nice consistency and is lightweight. My skin looks less dull when I use this cream and feels hydrated. It absorbs okay, it leaves a very thin film which makes my skin feel soft. The thin film doesn't bother me until later in the day, when my skin feels a bit oilier especially around my nose.
I really like this Show more
