“ANUA 8 Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Gentle Foaming Cleanser is a mild facial cleanser formulated with 8 kinds of Hyaluronic Acid and Panthenol to hydrate skin and replenish skin barrier, while deeply cleansing pores without stripping skin.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-glucoside, decyl glucoside, lauryl hydroxysultaine, quillaja saponaria bark extract, sodium cocoyl glycinate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium lauroyl glutamate) 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.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: coco-glucoside, decyl glucoside
