Works for
CleansingPeg-8 caprylic/capric glycerides, Apricot kernel oil polyglyceryl-6 esters + 6 moreCleanses gently
“Created especially for sensitive, intolerant, and reactive skin, this gentle cleanser effectively cleanses your skin of makeup and other impurities, leaving you with a clean, fresh-feeling complexion.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (apricot kernel oil polyglyceryl-6 esters, carbomer, cetyl phosphate, cholesterol, peg-8 caprylic/capric glycerides, sodium lauroyl lactylate, sorbitan palmitate, 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.
