Cleansing
What does the product description say?
KERACNYL cleansing gel is a daily face and body cleanser suitable of skin prone to excess sebum and/or acne in teenagers and adults.
Source: Ducray
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (ceteareth-60 myristyl glycol, decyl glucoside, glyceryl laurate, lauryl betaine, peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil, peg-5 ethylhexanoate, polysorbate 20, trideceth-9, zinc coceth sulfate) 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: decyl glucoside
