Vitamin C Enzymatic Gel Cleanser

This foaming, brightening cleanser with vitamin C and fruit enzymes is generally considered low risk in pregnancy. It does contain citrus essential oils and natural fragrance compounds, which can increase sensitivity for some. If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, patch test before regular use and consult your doctor if you have concerns.

✅ Vitamin C derivatives (magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, ascorbyl methylsilanol pectinate) are stable, safe antioxidants during pregnancy.

✅ Bromelain (pineapple enzyme) and botanical extracts (green tea, chamomile, blueberry, citrus fruit extracts) are safe and supportive.

⚠️ Essential oils & fragrance compounds (orange flower oil, bitter orange peel oil, lemon oil, limonene) can increase sensitivity in pregnancy, though not contraindicated.

⚠️ Exfoliation action: Enzymes + fruit acids may heighten sensitivity in already reactive pregnancy skin.

❌ No retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, hydroquinone, or high-strength salicylic acid.

This brightening cleanser with vitamin C and fruit enzymes is considered low risk for clogging pores. Its exfoliating and antioxidant ingredients actually help keep skin clear. The only caution is for sensitive or acne-prone skin that may react to citrus essential oils or fragrance.

✅ Vitamin C derivatives (magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, ascorbyl methylsilanol pectinate) are antioxidants that do not clog pores.

✅ Enzymes & fruit acids (bromelain, maple, blueberry, sugarcane, citrus extracts) aid gentle exfoliation, helping to prevent congestion.

✅ Hydrators & soothers (glycerin, panthenol, chamomile, green tea) balance the skin barrier and reduce irritation risk.

⚠️ Fragrance & essential oils (orange flower oil, bitter orange peel oil, lemon oil, limonene, linalool, citral) don’t clog pores directly but may irritate sensitive or acne-prone skin, which in some cases can worsen breakouts indirectly.

⚠️ Foaming surfactants (sodium olefin sulfonate, cocamidopropyl betaine) are cleansing — not comedogenic — but can be drying, which may trigger compensatory oiliness in some.

❌ No heavy oils, waxes, or occlusives known for pore-clogging.

This cleanser combines vitamin C with fruit enzymes for a gentle exfoliating cleanse that brightens while supporting skin health. Overall low risk for irritation, though fragrance-sensitive users may want to patch test.

✅ Uses gentle surfactants (sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate, cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamidopropylamine oxide) balanced with glycerin and panthenol for hydration.

✅ Enriched with vitamin C derivatives (magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, ascorbyl methylsilanol pectinate) for antioxidant support.

✅ Enzymes like bromelain plus fruit extracts (sugarcane, maple, bilberry, orange, lemon) provide mild exfoliation without being overly aggressive.

✅ Soothing botanicals (green tea, chamomile) reduce irritation risk.

⚠️ Fragrance components (neroli, orange peel oil, limonene) may cause reactivity in fragrance-sensitive skin.

⚠️ While milder than chemical peels, enzymatic exfoliation may still cause tingling or dryness for very sensitive skin.
