“Tea Tree Cleansing Water”
Source: Lookfantastic

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (polyglyceryl-10 laurate, polyglyceryl-6 caprylate) 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.

    Very gentle on my skin. Had extremely light natural fragrance from tea tree extract that dissipates quickly. Does not irritate my rosacea. Concerned it might be discontinued and stocked up.
