Uriage Thermal Micellar Water for Sensitive Skin

CleansingPolysorbate 20, Poloxamer 184 + 2 moreCleanses gently
“This ultra-hydrating formula nourishes the skin’s natural barrier while gently removing dirt and makeup.”
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, poloxamer 184, polysorbate 20) 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.
