Shiseido Cleansers & Makeup Removers Waso: Beauty Smart Water
Works for
CleansingBis-peg-18 methyl ether dimethyl silane, Disodium succinate + 1 moreCleanses gently
“Cleansers & Makeup Removers Waso.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (bis-peg-18 methyl ether dimethyl silane, disodium succinate, methyl gluceth-10) 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.
ExfoliationSEA SALTNot delivered
“Fermented Complexes offer skin polishing that removes dirt and dead skin cells.”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
