Sebamed Clear Face Cleansing Foam
Ingredients:
Water, Cocamidopropylalbetainamide MEA Chloride, Cocotrimonium Mthosulfate, Sodium Lactate, Panthenol (Vitamin B5), Fragrance (Parfum), Phenoxyethanol.Pro's:
1)It is non-comedogenic.
2)It is a mild and treatment cleanser for acne.
3)It maintains the skin PH level at 5.5 thereby protecting skin acid mantle and formation of pimples.
4)It contains Montaline C40 which is a coconut oil derivative which combats bacteria.
5)It not only prevents acne but works on sebum control,blackheads.

9)Sodium Lactate lightens blemishes and acne marks.
Con's:
1)Since it is a mild cleanser,proper and thorough cleansing is not its best property.It is best to use when the face is relatively clean or follow up with a neutral cleanser/face wash.
2)It is bit expensive but entire bottle will last 2-3 months.
3)It can render face bit dry so follow up with a moisturiser.
Directions for Use:
Take a pump or two of the foam and apply it all over face.Leave it for 5 minutes and rinse with water.
