“Cool Wash Purifying Cleansing Gel”
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) 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
Anti-blemishAloe barbadensis leaf juice, Camellia sinensis leaf extractNot delivered
“The cleanser is enriched with Camellia Extract which acts as an astringent to help reduce the appearance of blemishes and prevent new breakouts.”
