“Facial Cleanser”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cholesterol, disodium c12-14 pareth-2 sulfosuccinate, glyceryl stearate, hydrogenated lecithin, lecithin, myristic acid, palmitic acid, sodium cocoyl sarcosinate, sodium stearoyl glutamate, stearic acid, xanthan gum) 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.
