Question: are foaming cleansers water based?
Answer: Water-based cleansers — think foaming washes, exfoliating lathers or hydrating creams — work by “rinsing away particles from the outermost layer of skin,” explains Lily Talakoub, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist in Virginia. ... Micellar water, on the other hand, is a much gentler type of water-based cleanser.
