CleansingPoloxamer 188, Polyglyceryl-6 caprylate/caprate + 3 moreCleanses gently
“Containing innovative Pore-Diminish Formula to unclog pores and reduce their appearance, Pharmaceris T Sebo-Micellar cleanses the face, reduces redness and irritation, and restores the proper bacterial balance to acne-prone skin.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, poloxamer 188, polyglyceryl-4 laurate/sebacate, polyglyceryl-6 caprylate/caprate) 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.
