Unlike the Foaming Soy Cleansing Complex which focuses on hydration and barrier support, this cleanser is specifically designed to promote cell turnover, refine skin texture, and improve the appearance of uneven tone and dullness. It is suitable for daily use and works as the first step in a skincare routine, preparing the skin to better absorb subsequent serums and moisturizers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Ingredients and Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlycolic Acid:\u003c\/strong\u003e An alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane that exfoliates the outermost layer of the skin by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells.
