Works for
CleansingCaprylyl/capryl glucoside, Glyceryl caprylate + 2 moreCleanses gently
“The Micellar formula instantly removes daily dirt, oil and impurities, as well as any traces of makeup.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (caprylyl/capryl glucoside, glyceryl caprylate, polyglyceryl-5 oleate, sodium cocoyl glutamate) 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.
