CleansingSodium lauroyl sarcosinate, Xanthan gumCleanses gently
“Versed Gentle Cycle Milky Cleanser melts into skin—gently dissolving makeup and impurities and leaving it soft, smooth, and moisturized.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, xanthan gum) 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.
