What the product description says

“Ducray Dexyane Protective Cleansing Oil 400ml is a care that gently cleanses, nourishes and soothes the very dry to atopy-prone skin.”

Source: Cocoon Center

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (ceteareth-60, coco-glucoside, disodium cocoyl glutamate, glyceryl oleate, oleth-10, peg-120 methyl glucose dioleate, sodium cocoamphoacetate) 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.

Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: coco-glucoside, glyceryl oleate
