What does the product description say?

Purifying Cleansing Water

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 (cetrimonium bromide, peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil, peg-6 caprylic/capric glycerides, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, polysorbate 20) 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.

Anti-blemish

What does the product description say?
