“Glow Coco works perfectly as a hydrating and moisturizing base and can also be used to set and refresh your make up throughout the day. . For oily, acne-prone skin.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glyceryl stearate, polyglyceryl-2 diisostearate, polyhydroxystearic acid, polysorbate 20, sorbitan oleate) 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.
