“Houttuynia Cordata + Tea Tree Cleansing Foam”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glyceryl stearate se, lauric acid, lauryl hydroxysultaine, myristic acid, palmitic acid, 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.

This product is well suited for combination skin and sensitive skin, however it is a little bit stripping so it might not be the best option if you lean towards dry skin. It produces a lot of foam and it's nice and gentle towards the skin, but it can be stripping if you have dry skin or leans towards drier skin.
