Works for
CleansingPeg-40 hydrogenated castor oilCan be harsh
“Enveloping your hands in an aromatic veil of geranium leaf, mandarin and bergamot rind, the clear, hydro-alcoholic gel gently cleanses skin without a drying effect.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin.
Keep in mind that cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
