Neutrogena Glycerin Soap Bar for Acne-Prone Skin, Dye-Free, Non-Comedogenic
Works for
CleansingTriethanolamine, Tea-stearate + 8 moreCleanses gently
“Facial cleansing bar for acne-prone skin removes oil and impurities.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (acetylated lanolin alcohol, cocamide mea, sodium cocoate, sodium oleate, sodium ricinoleate, sodium stearate, sodium tallowate, tea-lauryl sulfate, tea-stearate, triethanolamine) 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: tea-lauryl sulfate
