Melawash Face Wash

Melawash Face Wash

Composition:

1. Glycolic Acid: An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane. It helps to exfoliate the skin, promoting cell turnover and improving skin texture.
2. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS): A surfactant used for its cleansing and foaming properties. It helps in the removal of dirt and oils from the skin.
3. Cocbetaine: A mild surfactant derived from coconut oil that works to cleanse the skin without over-drying it. It can also aid in reducing skin irritation compared to harsher cleansers.

Mechanism of Action:

• Glycolic Acid: Works by dissolving the bonds that hold dead skin cells together, allowing for easier exfoliation and revealing newer, fresher skin underneath. This can help improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and enhance overall radiance.
• Sodium Lauryl Sulfate: Creates a lather that helps lift and wash away dirt, oil, and impurities from the skin.
• Cocbetaine: Acts as a gentle cleanser that helps to stabilize foam and enhance the feel of the wash, while also conditioning the skin.

Dosage:

• Apply an appropriate amount of Melawash face wash (typically a dime-sized amount) onto damp skin.
• Gently massage onto the face in circular motions for about 30 seconds.
• Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Usage:

• Use twice daily (morning and evening) or as directed by a dermatologist.
• Ideal for individuals seeking to improve skin texture and clarity.
• May be used in conjunction with other skincare products (such as moisturizers and sunscreens) following washing.

Side Effects:

• Glycolic Acid: May cause mild skin irritation, redness, or a burning sensation, particularly in sensitive skin.
• Sodium Lauryl Sulfate: Can lead to dryness or irritation in some individuals, particularly if overused.
• Cocbetaine: Generally mild, but in rare cases, some people may experience allergic reactions or sensitivity.

Note: It’s advisable to perform a patch test before full application to assess sensitivity.

Recommendations:

• Start with a patch test to determine sensitivity, especially if you have sensitive or reactive skin.
• If experiencing irritation, reduce usage frequency or discontinue use.
• Always follow up with a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day when using products containing glycolic acid, as AHAs can increase sun sensitivity.
• Consult a dermatologist for personalized skincare advice and recommendations based on individual skin type and conditions.

Important Note:

• This product is intended for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Keep out of reach of children. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
