The role and efficacy of facial cleanser

The cleansing type of facial cleanser is very important. First of all, the surface activity of facial cleanser made of plants is very strong. It can not only moisturize, but also clean facial stains and take away all the residues in the pores. It can help us clean the sweat and dirt on the face. Facial cleansers are also divided into many types, including foaming type, dissolving type, and non-foaming type. You can choose facial cleanser according to your personal skin properties.

Cleansing principle

Generally speaking, facial cleanser is a paste product composed of oil phase, water phase, surfactants, moisturizers, nutrients and other ingredients. Among them, creamy facial cleansers contain oily ingredients and are suitable for dry skin; crystal-like transparent products do not contain oily ingredients and can meet the needs of most consumers if the formula is properly adjusted. Surfactants in facial cleansers have five major functions: wetting, dispersion, foaming, cleansing and emulsification, and are the main active ingredients in cleansing products. In addition, according to the principle of like dissolves like, during the face washing process, the oil phase can be used to dissolve the oil-soluble fat dirt and excess oil on the face; the water phase can be used to dissolve the water-soluble sweat stains and dirt on the face.

Basic Types

Foaming cleanser:

It contains surfactants and is divided into two types: multi-foam type and micro-foam type. Surfactants are used to stabilize grease in water and dissolve it in water to achieve a cleaning effect.

Soap facial cleansers are also one of these categories, but because of their obvious characteristics, they are generally treated differently from ordinary surfactant facial cleansers.

Solvent-based facial cleansers:

This type of product relies on the oil-oil dissolving ability to remove oily dirt. It mainly targets oily dirt, so they are generally some makeup remover oils, cleansing creams, etc.

Foam-free facial cleanser:

This type of product combines the characteristics of the above two types, using an appropriate amount of oil and containing some surfactants.

Collagen-based facial cleanser:

Collagen facial cleanser adopts a soap-free formula, which is warm and comfortable. It can effectively remove facial keratin and dirt including melanin, restoring the skin to a transparent and refreshed state. The nano-collagen ingredients in the product not only quickly penetrate into the skin and promote skin metabolism, but also add a layer of protective barrier for the face, preventing the loss of facial epidermis moisture and the infiltration of large amounts of external pollutants, thereby protecting the delicate skin from harmful factors.
