Works for
CleansingPolysorbate 20, Hexylene glycol + 2 moreCleanses gently
“A mild micellar water with Green Tea and a moisturizing Amino Acid Complex that cleanses away light makeup and impurities while refreshing skin.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (disodium cocoamphodiacetate, disodium cocoyl glutamate, hexylene glycol, polysorbate 20) 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.
