“Soveltuu allergiselle iholle, akneihon kosteutukseen, kuivan päänahan ja hiusten pesuun, auringonoton jälkeen viilentämään sekä estämään ihon hilseilyä.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (apricot kernel oil peg-6 esters, cetearyl alcohol, glycol stearate, peg-32 stearate, peg-6 stearate) 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 is a reliable, good-quality product from the Finnish pharmaceutical company Orion. They specify that it’s suitable for acne-prone skin. Despite containing two ingredients that are supposedly somewhat comedogenic, my oily skin has stayed clear with Humektan. It’s also pleasant to apply. Experience: used twice daily for years.
