Promise
What does the product description say? "Renew skin with the Normalizer Cream-Serum from Thalgo ; a scientifically advanced treatment that utilises exclusive Neo-Skin technology to effectively cleanse and refine for a balanced and perfected base."
WIMJ summary for cleansing
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glyceryl linoleate, pentaerythrityl distearate, polysorbate 60, sorbitan isostearate, steareth-2, steareth-21, sucrose palmitate) 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.
