CleansingMyristic acid, Stearic acid + 1 moreCleanses gently
“A mild feeling foam cleanser of snail slime ultrafiltrate removes old dead skin cells and keeps your skin clear and bright.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glycol distearate, myristic acid, stearic acid) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
