CleansingCetearyl alcohol, Cetearyl glucoside + 2 moreCleanses gently
“It helps to cleanse the skin without drying it out or causing tightness.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, cetearyl glucoside, sodium stearoyl glutamate, 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.
