Works for
CleansingCetearyl alcohol, Peg-8 beeswax + 8 moreCleanses gently
“Double Cleansing is essential for your skin, to not only remove any make up, SPF, debris or pollution on the top layer on the skin but to also work deeper to treat and cleanse the skin.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, cocoyl hydrolyzed collagen, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, peg-6 caprylic/capric glycerides, peg-60 almond glycerides, peg-8 beeswax, sorbitan stearate, sucrose laurate, sucrose stearate) 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.
