When applied to the skin, fruit acids supplement the skin's natural exfoliation process by loosening and sloughing away the outer layer of dead skin cells, revealing the newer, smoother cells underneath. This process rejuvenates the skin by improving circulation and stimulating new cell growth, resulting in a fresher, healthier complexion and reduced pore size. Here is the ingredient list of this amazing cleanser, followed by a breakdown of what each ingredient does for your skin:Here's the breakdown of how each of the above ingredients works to improve your skin:Aloe: improves skin integrity, decreased appearance of fine wrinkling, aids in moisture retention.

It is used to improve the skin's appearance and texture. It may reduce wrinkles, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation and improve many other skin conditions.
