How to use

Wet face with lukewarm water. Rub cleanser in your hands until you get a dense foam, then massage into face and eye area in gentle, circular motions. Rinse well. Avoid direct contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.

Red does not mean poison. Preservatives that stop a product going off, UV filters and fragrance can land on yellow or red depending on their score.

Green does not mean right for you. Skin and allergies differ from person to person. Treat the color as a starting point.
