“Boasting a non-drying, alcohol-based formulation, this bacteria-busting powerhouse cleanses your skin without needing to wash it off... what we're reading is that it's perfect for those always in a rush!”

Source: Cultbeauty

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coceth-7, peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil, peg-5 ethylhexanoate, ppg-1-peg-9 lauryl glycol ether, trideceth-9, triethanolamine) 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.
