CleansingCarbomer, Sodium lauroyl lactylate + 3 moreCleanses gently
“Designed to gently remove stubborn and waterproof makeup, this unique formula combines squalane oil and three essential ceramides to cleanse without disrupting the skin barrier.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (carbomer, cholesterol, polyglyceryl-6 polyricinoleate, sodium lauroyl lactylate, xanthan gum) 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.
