GENIUS Ultimate Anti-Aging Foaming Cleanser
Source: From product name
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate, polysorbate 80, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium cocoyl glycinate, sodium lauroyl lactylate, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, xanthan gum) 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.
