This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamide dea, cocamidopropyl betaine, glycol distearate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, lauric acid, myristic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, ppg-10 glyceryl ether, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate) 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 methyl cocoyl taurate

Product summary

This product could be helpful for: Moisturizing, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.

Ingredient callouts

  • Humectants (sodium acetylated hyaluronate 0.35% - 0.60%, glycerin 0.25% - 0.45% and sodium hyaluronate 0.45% - 0.65%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

Price

The product retails for 18.96CA$ in Canada, for 45.59A$ in Australia and from 20.50$ up to 47.00$ in the United States.
