Does Leaders Labotica Aqua Tree Charcoal Pore Deep Cleansing Foam work?

Leaders Labotica Aqua Tree Charcoal Pore Deep Cleansing Foam is a type of skincare product designed to be rinsed off, peeled off, or otherwise removed from the skin. Research confirming the moisturizing, anti-wrinkle, and soothing effects of such products is very limited. Therefore, we do not provide efficacy ratings for these types of skincare products.

However, you can explore the roles of specific ingredients in the Ingredients Explained section below.

#alcohol-free
alcohol-free
Not all alcohols are bad for the skin, e.g. fatty alcohols are popular emollients. Some alcohols (such as alcohol denat.), however, can be dehydrating and skin-sensitizing. This tag includes products free of alcohols that have been shown not to be beneficial to the skin.

#sulfate-free
sulfate-free
Sulfates are powerful cleansing agents. However, they are thought to strip the skin of its natural oils, resulting in dryness and irritation. If you've ever encountered a problem with sulfates before, then this is the tag to look out for.

#silicone-free
silicone-free
Silicones can make the skin appear smooth by forming a silky layer over it. Some believe that silicones can lead to clogged pores and breakouts. Although this may not be true for everyone, silicones may indeed be less suitable for oily and acne-prone skin.

#paraben-free
paraben-free
Parabens are very effective preservatives. They are highly criticized and said to be carcinogenic. According to FDA, however, there is no evidence to prove that the parabens in cosmetics pose any harm to human health.
