Works for
CleansingPolyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate, Xanthan gumCleanses gently
“NIVEA Biodegradable Cleansing Wipes for Dry Skin gently remove waterproof make-up and mascara.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate, 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.
