Works for
CleansingSorbeth-30 tetraoleateCan be harsh
“A gentle, yet effective cleanser that transforms from a balm to a silky oil, working to melt away face and eye makeup while leaving skin feeling soft, smooth, and supple.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin.
Keep in mind that cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
