“Gently cleanse and hydrate skin with Aveeno Calm + Restore Nourishing Oat Facial Cleanser.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (poloxamer 188, polysorbate 20) 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.

I love oats in my skincare! This cleanser is so gentle and smooth on the skin, it feels milky and the oat is super soothing. Some people may not enjoy the texture because it doesn't foam at all and feels like you're spreading a thick gel all over your face. Not stripping and obviously not good for removing makeup. Also smells like oats or something.
