What this product is supposed to do

A dual-purpose liquid cleanser and toner that removes deep-down dirt and oil for clear, smooth, shave-ready skin. What it is formulated to do: Pure Clean Daily Facial Cleanser works gently without over-drying to leave your complexion clean, hydrated, and fresh. Witch hazel acts as an astringent, toner, anti-irritant, and antioxidant. Oat- and coconut-derived, sulfate-free surfactants effectively cleanse the skin, while certified organic sage leaf and rosemary provide antibacterial benefits. Certified organic chamomile and aloe leaf help soothe and reduce redness. This product will work into a rich lather to gently and effectively remove dirt and debris without irritation or dryness. The result is clean, clear, smooth skin.
