CleansingMyristic acid, Stearic acid + 7 moreCleanses gently
“The dense, soft foam cleanly removes stubborn makeup and dirt deep inside the pores in one go.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glyceryl stearate, glycol distearate, isostearic acid, laureth-7, lauric acid, myristic acid, peg-20 glyceryl triisostearate, potassium cocoyl glycinate, stearic acid) 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.
