“General Topics Sensicure Physio Water System Active Micellar Water Daily cleansing-make-up remover specific for sensitive and hyper-reactive skin of the whole family characterized by burning, tingling and prone to redness.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (caprylyl/capryl glucoside, cetrimonium bromide, decyl glucoside, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate) 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: decyl glucoside
