Dear Dahlia Skin Conditioning Micellar Cleansing Water
Works for
CleansingPolyglyceryl-4 caprate, Capryl/capramidopropyl betaine + 4 moreCleanses gently
“The aqueous no-rinse solution swiftly removes stubborn makeup and daily impurity build-up without stripping, leaving your skin instantly refreshed and radiant.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (capryl/capramidopropyl betaine, caprylyl/capryl glucoside, polyglyceryl-3 cocoate, polyglyceryl-4 caprate, polyglyceryl-6 caprylate, polyglyceryl-6 ricinoleate) 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.
