The invention concerns water-containing skin-cleansing agents in liquid, paste or cream form designed to remove strongly adhering dirt, the agents containing anionic and/or amphoteric and/or non-ionic surfactants as wash-active substances, thickeners, at least one abrasive plus, optionally, auxiliaries for regulating the appearance consistency, odour and stability such as pigments, fragrances, stabilizers and preservatives. The agents are characterized in that the only solvent they contain is di-n-butyl and/or diisopropyl adipate. The agents are prepared by thorough mixing of the ingredients, the mixture optionally being heated. If a C8-C16 fatty alcohol is added as a consistency regulator, heating of the mixture becomes unnecessary. Furthermore, the addition of a fatty alcohol enhances the cleansing action. The invention also concerns the use of such skin-cleansing agents, the agent first being spread on to the skin without the addition of water or with the addition of a small quantity of water, and the cleansing process continued and completed by rinsing with water.
