Product overview
Key Ingredients
Sourced from an ingredient-database cross-check site (skinsort.com), the published ingredient list is: Water, Glycerin, Palmitic Acid, Stearic Acid, Myristic Acid, Potassium Hydroxide, Lauric Acid, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, Ceteareth-30, Behenyl Alcohol, Potassium Chloride, Ceteareth-29, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Butylene Glycol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Methylparaben, Chaenomeles Sinensis Fruit Extract, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Soy Amino Acids, and Niacinamide. Two important discrepancies to note: first, this list does not contain actual Papaya (Carica Papaya) extract -- instead, Chaenomeles Sinensis (Chinese quince) Fruit Extract appears, which is a different named ingredient than the "papaya" the product is marketed and named around; this could reflect a formulation update, a mislabeled database entry, or a naming inconsistency, and MedEasy is flagging it rather than resolving it. Second, this same source labels the product "paraben-free," which is directly contradicted by Methylparaben appearing in its own published ingredient list -- this "paraben-free" claim should not be treated as accurate.
Key Features
A 100g facial cleanser marketed around Papaya as its headline ingredient, positioned for deep-cleansing pores, removing excess oil and impurities, and moisturizing without over-drying the skin.
Benefits
Niacinamide, if the sourced ingredient list is accurate, is a well-established ingredient for supporting an even-looking skin tone and barrier function. Glycerin is a standard, well-tolerated humectant. Given the naming discrepancy noted above regarding the papaya ingredient, MedEasy cannot confirm that papaya-specific benefits (such as enzymatic exfoliation sometimes associated with papaya) apply to this exact formula.
Who Can Use This Product
Generally marketed for oily, combination, normal, and acne-prone skin types, for twice-daily use. Since this formula's own published ingredient list contains Methylparaben despite a "paraben-free" marketing claim, those wishing to avoid parabens specifically should be aware this ingredient may be present, and those with known paraben sensitivities should patch test first or avoid this product.
How to Use
Apply to a damp face, work into a gentle lather, massage in circular motions, then rinse thoroughly with water. Suitable for morning and evening use as part of a regular cleansing routine.
Storage & Safety
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs. Discontinue use if irritation, redness, or an allergic reaction develops.
