“This Cleanser bar will last you such a long time, replacing 3 x 300ml bottles of facial cleanser, it's budget friendly and feels totally lush.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium lauryl sulfoacetate, stearic acid) 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.
