CleansingMyristic acid, Stearic acid + 3 moreCleanses gently
“Gently cleanse your skin of dirt and makeup with the DHC Cleansing Foam, a delicate cleanser that will leave your skin feeling fresh and clean.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (ceteth-25, glycol distearate, lauramide dea, myristic acid, stearic acid) 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.

“Infused with peony, mandarin peel and allantoin, the delicate cleanser forms a soft, creamy lather on the skin to melt away dirt and make-up, whilst unclogging pores without over-drying or uncomfortable tightness.”
