“Thayers Hydrating Milky Cleanser helps skin feel immediately hydrated and soothed while removing makeup, dirt, oil and impurities.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, peg-40 stearate, polysorbate 20, stearyl alcohol) 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.
