“Eau De Mousse Micellaire - Micellar Foam Cleanser”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin.
It contains the following cleansing agents that tend to be harsh on the skin: rosa rubiginosa seed oil peg-8 esters, sodium laureth sulfate.
Keep in mind that cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“A two in one cleansing exfoliate when you blend Nuxe Eau De Mousse Micellaire – Micellar Foam Cleanser with Nuxe Gelée Exfoliante Douce – Gentle Exfoliating Gel.”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
