Zelens Z Detox Clarifying Foaming Cleanser Review 2020

Fruit acids: Z Detox contains two fruit-derived alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs): tartaric acid and citric acid.
Tartaric acid: Derived from citrus fruits, this mild AHA demonstrates gentle exfoliating properties and helps to unclog pores blocked by dead skin cells, bacteria and sebum. It also helps to effectively brighten the skin and lighten areas of dark skin pigmentation.
Citric acid: A mild AHA derived from grapefruit. Promotes gentle exfoliation and accelerates skin renewal.
Protease enzyme: Derived from pumpkin, this enzyme effectively removes dead skin cells and impurities. Leaves the skin cleansed, radiant and silky smooth.
Probiotic Complex: Contains Lactobacillus cultures that stimulate the skin’s immune system and protect the skin against environmental stress due to their anti-inflammatory properties.
Shiso leaf (Perilla, Japanese mint): Shiso leaf is well-known in Kampo medicine for its strong detox properties. Rich in polyphenols (particularly Rosmarinic acid) and triterpenoids (particularly Ursolic acid), natural molecules that demonstrate antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-allergic bioactivities. Shiso leaf acts as a powerful antioxidant defending skin from free radical damage. It helps to prevent skin reactivity and soothes sensitive skin.
Grapes: A bio-liquefied complete grape skin rich in phenols (antioxidants). Demonstrates strong defensive and protective properties. This active ingredient also inhibits collagen degradation.
Wheat bran: A bio-liquefied wheat bran rich in ferulic acid and arabinoxylans. Demonstrates antioxidant properties and reactivates the microfibril synthesis that plumps up wrinkles from the inside. Key components of Cruox are Ferulic Acid – an antioxidant and UV absorber, and Arabinoxylans – which stimulate fibroblast metabolism for microfilm protection.
Apple Fruit Extract: Demonstrates astringent, toning, protective and restructuring properties. Helps promote skin firmness and elasticity.
Lemon fruit extract: Possesses strong anti-bacterial and antiseptic properties. It also has skin-tightening and toning effects. Excellent for oily, tired and stressed skin.
Biosaccharides: Naturally derived sugar molecules obtained by fermentation. Demonstrate a strong protective effect against UV light, pollution and heavy metals. Provide a pleasant second-skin effect.
Glycerin: Naturally present in the skin, glycerin used in Zelens products is a completely vegetable molecule derived from plant oils. It is an excellent humectant, a substance that attracts moisture from the environment and increases the amount of water in the surface layers of the skin.
