UnderPore Foam Cleanser
Source: From product name
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, coco-betaine, coco-glucoside, coconut acid, glyceryl stearate, hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, stearyl alcohol, sucrose stearate, tea-cocoyl glutamate) 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: coco-betaine, coco-glucoside, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate
