What the product description says
“Daily Ultra Care Grace Gentle Cream Cleanser & Makeup Remover”
Source: Lookfantastic

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, cetearyl glucoside, glyceryl stearate, stearyl alcohol) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.

Cetearyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps water and oil in the product mix well together and improves product texture~1.1–1.6%
Cetearyl alcoholEffect: HighA non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture~1–1.5%
Stearyl alcoholEffect: HighAn emollient that helps soften the skin~0.9–1.3%
