Works for
CleansingCoco-glucoside, Disodium cocoamphodiacetate + 1 moreCleanses gently
“Efficiently removing make up, sunscreen and impurities from the skin, the Super Amino Gel Cleanser (150ml) is your answer to a replenished and refreshed complexion.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-glucoside, disodium cocoamphodiacetate, sodium lauroamphoacetate) 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-glucoside
