"Normaderm Daily Deep Cleansing Gel Face Wash with Salicylic Acid"

From product name

WIMJ summary

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-betaine, hexylene glycol, peg-120 methyl glucose dioleate, sodium laureth sulfate, triethanolamine) 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.

Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: coco-betaine, sodium laureth sulfate

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
coco-betaine	HIGH
hexylene glycol	HIGH
peg-120 methyl glucose dioleate	HIGH
