Because the finished pH is not disclosed and soap-type cleansers commonly run more alkaline than surfactant systems, pair it with a pH-adjusting toner afterward rather than assuming it self-balances (see Section 22D).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge and Tween Suitability (Parental Guide)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassification: YELLOW (14+ with guidance).\u003c\/strong\u003e This cleanser contains chemical exfoliants (Gluconolactone\/PHA and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid\/LHA) at undisclosed concentrations.
