CleansingPolyglyceryl-6 distearate, Cetyl alcohol + 3 moreCleanses gently
“It removes makeup and cleanses the skin, without damaging it, in order to preserve the hydrolipidic film and the skin balance necessary to the correct functioning of skins with seborrheic tendency.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetyl alcohol, polyglyceryl-3 beeswax, polyglyceryl-6 distearate, sodium stearoyl 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.
