“Leave your skin feeling cool as a cucumber with yes to Cucumbers Calming Micellar Cleansing Water , a purifying formula that removes makeup and cleanses skin.”
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, hexylene glycol, polyglyceryl-4 caprylate/caprate, polyglyceryl-4 laurate/sebacate) 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.
