Products Overview
The details of the products are as follow:
Mentholatum Acnes Creamy Wash (100g)
This soap-free cleansing formula is made from Amino Acid and is close to the skin’s natural pH level. This would lead to a gentle yet effective cleansing which is extremely suitable for sensitive acne-prone skin. For added effectiveness, salicylic acid (BHA) has also been used into the formula to help unclog pores and combat acne. The Avocado extract, consists of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that calms the skin, and at the same time remove sebum for a longer lasting oil control. So, you could finally say goodbye to greasy skin. You could also find vitamin C and E antioxidants that helps soothe and brighten dull skin. They also aid in lightening acne marks and strengthening the skin barrier.

This powder-lotion contains a sebum-balancing and oil-control formula that helps remove dead skin cells and fight blemishes by penetrating deep into the pores. Oil absorbing mineral powder has also been added to help absorb excess sebum and tighten the pores for smoother looking skin. Now, with all the oil gone, wouldn’t your skin become dry and flaky? Well, to prevent excessive dryness, aloe vera extract has been added for its moisturising properties, as well as for long-lasting freshness. Acting in a similar way as the Creamy Wash, the Powder Lotion contains Vitamin C to help brighten dull skin, lighten acne marks, and strengthen skin barrier.
