Cleanse & Firm Intensive Hydration Regimen
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 (caprylyl/capryl glucoside, cetearyl alcohol, cetearyl olivate, cocamidopropyl betaine, glyceryl stearate, hexylene glycol, laureth-7, lauryl glucoside, peg-100 stearate, peg/ppg-18/18 dimethicone, polysorbate 20, polysorbate 60, ppg-2 hydroxyethyl coco/isostearamide, sodium laureth sulfate, sorbitan oleate, sorbitan olivate, tin) 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: cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium laureth sulfate
