Freyias Weekly Peeling Milk Face Wash100 ml

Key Ingredients

• Carbomer 940 (listed on the retailer panel as "940 Acrylic Acid"): a gelling and thickening polymer. This is the ingredient responsible for the product's signature "peeling" texture -- as you massage the milk-gel onto skin, the polymer forms small rolled particles that lift away along with surface debris. Important: this is a mechanical, physical roll-off action, not a chemical exfoliation. Unlike AHA/BHA-type "peeling" or "exfoliating" products, this formula does not rely on acids dissolving dead skin cells, so it should not be expected to deliver the same depth of chemical exfoliation
• Milk extract: included as a conditioning/soothing ingredient, consistent with the "Milk" naming
• Cetrimonium chloride (listed as "Hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride"), silicone, and primary alcohol ethoxylate: conditioning and emulsifying agents that help the formula spread smoothly and rinse cleanly
• DMDM Hydantoin and Germall (a diazolidinyl-urea-type preservative): preservative system. Both ingredient types belong to the formaldehyde-releasing preservative family; while used at regulated cosmetic-safe levels, those with known formaldehyde-releaser sensitivities may wish to patch-test first
• Fragrance/essence and purified water: complete the base formula

Key Features

• Milk-gel textured facial wash marketed with a visible "peeling" roll-off effect during use
• Retailer listings describe the product as made in the PRC (China) with formulation development attributed to the UK; MedEasy could not independently verify this origin/development claim against any official brand website, so it should be treated as a retailer-stated claim only
• Positioned as a weekly-use gentle physical exfoliation step rather than a daily cleanser

Benefits

• The rolling gel texture provides a tactile physical exfoliation sensation and can help lift away surface debris and residue during cleansing
• Milk extract and conditioning agents are included to help offset dryness that can accompany exfoliating products
• Marketed as a gentler alternative to acid-based chemical peels for users seeking a milder weekly exfoliation step

Who Can Use This Product

• Adults looking for a mild, occasional (weekly) physical exfoliation step as part of their routine
• Not recommended for those with a known sensitivity to formaldehyde-releasing preservatives (DMDM Hydantoin, diazolidinyl urea-type ingredients) without a patch test first
• Those seeking true chemical (acid-based) exfoliation should look for products with disclosed AHA/BHA content, as this formula's "peeling" effect is mechanical, not chemical
• Discontinue use if irritation, redness, or breakouts occur

How to Use

• Apply a small amount to clean, dry or damp skin
• Gently massage in circular motions; small rolled particles will appear as the polymer lifts away surface debris
• Rinse thoroughly with water
• Use approximately once weekly, or as needed, rather than as a daily cleanser, to avoid over-exfoliating skin
• Follow with a moisturizer, as with any exfoliating step

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
• Perform a patch test before first use, particularly for those with sensitive skin or known preservative sensitivities
• Discontinue use and consult a doctor or dermatologist if irritation, redness, or an allergic reaction develops
• Do not use on broken or irritated skin

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: Is this a chemical (acid-based) peel?

A: No. The "peeling" texture comes from Carbomer 940, a gelling polymer that forms small rolled particles as you massage it on skin -- a mechanical roll-off action, not a chemical AHA/BHA-style exfoliation.

Q: How often should this be used?

A: It is marketed as a weekly-use product rather than a daily cleanser, to avoid over-exfoliating the skin.

Q: Where is this product made?

A: Retailer listings describe it as made in the PRC (China) with UK-attributed formulation, but MedEasy could not independently verify this against an official brand source.

Q: Does this formula contain any preservatives sensitive users should know about?

A: Yes, it contains DMDM Hydantoin and a diazolidinyl-urea-type preservative (Germall), both formaldehyde-releasing preservative types. Those with known sensitivities should patch-test first.

Q: Can this replace a chemical exfoliant like an AHA or BHA product?

A: Not directly -- this product's exfoliation is physical/mechanical, so it works differently than acid-based chemical exfoliants and may not deliver the same results.
