Skinfix Balancing Soft-Foam Pore-Minimizing Clay Cleanser
Works for
CleansingSodium cocoyl isethionate, Coco-glucoside + 6 moreCleanses gently
“What it is: A gentle, hydrating face wash that doubles as a deep pore cleanser—get mask-level results without the dryness or mess.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-betaine, coco-glucoside, coconut acid, coconut alcohol, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, sodium cocoyl isethionate, stearyl alcohol, 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.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: coco-betaine, coco-glucoside

“Clay mask clean—zero tightness. Made for and clinically tested on combination to oily skin, this creamy daily cleanser purifies and unclogs pores like a mask, but rinses off in a gentle foam, without the dryness or mess.”
