“Green Tea Fresh Cleanser”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (disodium cocoamphodiacetate, hexylene glycol, lauryl hydroxysultaine, sodium cocoyl alaninate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, xanthan gum) 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.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: sodium methyl cocoyl taurate

Overall a good product. Smells slightly of tea…not a nice smell not a gross one either. After using the Bioderma Sensibio wash for so long, I could feel that this was more stripping. So I’m only using it once a day now to use it up and not cause barrier problems.
It has little bits of tea in it (I assume) that dissolve as you wash your face. They do not act exfoliating. Bought because my skin loves topical green tea. But I didn’t see any special or soothing effects with this. I will be trying the green tea toners, serums or emulsions instead.
