This conditioning formula transforms into a soft, airy foam that removes makeup and impurities, including pollution, as it purifies deep within skin's surface to improve your overall healthy look. The high performance formula rinses easily and leaves skin feeling clean, soft and refreshed. HOW TO USE Every night, massage gently over damp skin. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Avoid eye area.

After prolonged use, I have come to appreciate this product for exactly that reason.  If you'
