Cathy Doll Whitamin C Brightening Cleansing Gel 120ml120ml

Key Ingredients

• Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamide DEA, Cocamidopropyl Betaine -- confirmed present, the core foaming cleanser surfactant system (a fairly strong, not especially gentle, formula)
• Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot), Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange), and Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin) Peel/Fruit Oils -- confirmed present, citrus-derived fragrance ingredients
• Propolis Extract -- confirmed present, supporting the brand's antioxidant/soothing marketing claims
• Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride -- confirmed present, a coconut-oil-derived emollient, supporting the brand's "coconut oil extract" marketing claim
• Unverified headline claim: the product's name and marketing reference "Whitamin C" (a brand pun on Vitamin C) via a claimed "99% pure 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid," and a separate "Vitamin E" claim -- neither of these two specific ingredients appears in the full ingredient list obtained from independent sources. This is disclosed as an unverified marketing claim rather than a confirmed active ingredient

Key Features

• A brightening cleansing gel from Cathy Doll, a cosmetics line under Karmarts Public Company Limited, a Thai-listed cosmetics company
• Country-of-origin conflict: sources disagree on where this specific SKU is manufactured -- some Bangladeshi retailers state "Made in Korea," while others state "Thailand"; the parent company Karmarts is Thai, but may use various OEM manufacturers. This entry does not assert a specific manufacturing country given the conflicting information
• Marketed for men and women, for dull or uneven skin tone and dark spots

Benefits

• Propolis Extract and the coconut-oil-derived emollient support the brand's soothing and nourishing marketing claims
• The confirmed surfactant system provides a foaming, thorough cleanse
• The brand markets this product around a Vitamin-C-brightening concept, though as noted above, the specific active ingredient behind this claim could not be verified in the disclosed ingredient panel -- we'd recommend treating the brightening claim as a marketing positioning rather than a confirmed, verified active benefit

Who Can Use This Product

• Marketed broadly for men and women with dull or uneven skin tone
• Given the fairly strong sulfate-based surfactant system, those with dry or sensitive skin may want to patch-test first or follow with a moisturizer
• Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult a doctor before use, as a general precaution

How to Use

• Apply a generous amount to the palm, lather, and massage onto damp facial skin
• Rinse thoroughly with water
• Use twice daily, morning and evening

Storage & Safety

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Avoid contact with the eyes; rinse with water if contact occurs
• Discontinue use and consult a doctor if irritation, redness, or a burning sensation occurs
• Keep out of reach of children
• Sourcing note: the full ingredient list is confirmed consistent between two independent sources (incidecoder.com and a Bangladeshi retailer), but the headline "Whitamin C" active ingredient and a stated Vitamin E content are not found within that same panel, and the manufacturing country is disputed between Bangladeshi retailers. Both gaps are disclosed rather than resolved.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: Is "Whitamin C" a typo for "Vitamin C"?

A: No, it's an intentional brand pun combining "Whitening" and "Vitamin C," confirmed as the real product name via Karmart's own official store.

Q: Is the Vitamin C ingredient confirmed in the formula?

A: The brand markets a specific Vitamin C derivative as the headline active, but this ingredient does not appear in the full ingredient list we obtained from independent sources -- we'd treat this as an unverified marketing claim rather than a confirmed ingredient.

Q: Where is this product made?

A: Sources disagree -- some Bangladeshi retailers state Korea, others Thailand. The parent company, Karmarts, is Thai-listed, but the exact manufacturing country for this SKU could not be confirmed.

Q: Is this a gentle cleanser?

A: It uses a fairly standard, fairly strong sulfate-based foaming cleanser system rather than an especially gentle formula, despite "no over-drying" marketing.

Q: How often should this be used?

A: Twice daily, morning and evening, per the brand's directions.
