The Saem Natural Condition Make-Up Retouching Pad
Works for
CleansingPeg-6 caprylic/capric glycerides, Hexylene glycol + 1 moreCleanses gently
“Helps remove cakey makeup and skin impurities while conditioning your skin for retouching.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (hexylene glycol, peg-6 caprylic/capric glycerides, polyglyceryl-10 laurate) 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.
