It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (polyglyceryl-4 caprate, xanthan gum) 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.

The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: capryloyl salicylic acid.
