How do cleansers work?
Short answer: Cleansers work by removing dirt, oil, and impurities from the skin.
Detailed answer
Cleansers contain surfactants that bind to both water and oil molecules, allowing them to lift away dirt, oil, and impurities from the skin's surface. When mixed with water, cleansers create a lather that helps to emulsify and dissolve these substances, making it easier for them to be rinsed away. Additionally, some cleansers may have additional ingredients, such as exfoliants or moisturizers, to provide additional benefits for specific skin concerns.
