The primary purpose of any skin cleanser is to remove dirt, sweat, excess sebum, cosmetic residues and dead skin cells from the skin’s surface without disrupting its natural moisture barrier. Water alone can not dissolve fat-soluble particles. Cleansers use special agents called surfactants to lift away these impurities and make them easier to rinse off the skin’s surface.
There are many different formulations of skin cleansers to choose from for each skin type.
