“Refresh and purify your skin with Lancôme Confort Hydrating Micellar Water , a soothing face cleanser that effectively lifts away makeup and impurities while hydrating the complexion.”
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, poloxamer 184) 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.
