What it is
This cleaner thoroughly removes foundation stains from foundation sponges and has a disinfecting effect. It does not disinfect all bacteria. .
Ingredients
Surfactant (19.5%, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether), stabilizer (dipropylene glycol)
How to use
For best results, apply the cleaner directly to your hands or sponge without wetting them before use. The recommended amount to use is approximately the same as the area of dirt on the sponge. Apply an appropriate amount to a sponge and gently press it into the foundation stains, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly, then dry with a towel or similar, and be sure to dry in the shade.

It falls well and is easy to use
I bought it as a trial, but it doesn't have any special features, and I don't think there's anything I need more than this. All sponge cleaners feel the same.
It removes foundation stains beautifully. Until now, I would throw away sponges after using them a few times, but from now on, I'll use this one and use it for a little longer.
The stains came off beautifully. I'm glad I bought it.
It works well and is easy to use. I wish it had a larger capacity!
