CleansingButylene glycol cocoate, Polysorbate 20 + 2 moreCleanses gently
“DIOR HYDRA LIFE Skincare Micellar Milk combines the cleansing power of oil micelles with the nourishing properties of rice milk to eliminate all traces of makeup and impurities on the face and eye contour.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (butylene glycol cocoate, carbomer, polysorbate 20, saponins) 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.
