This cleansing foam has been in development for 10 years and is a game changer. Developed with dermatologists, this cleanser uses an innovative Glycolysine Cleansing Technology that cleanses without disrupting the skin’s natural protective barrier. Moreover, the formulation contains three essential ceramides to protect the skin barrier, Allantoin to calm irritation, and amino acids to retain hydration. I am looking forward to recommending this to all of my patients with sensitive skin.
