What the product description says

“Sebium H2O is the first specific make-up removing micellar water for combination or oily skin that mimics the natural composition of the skin for complete make-up removal.”

Source: SmallFlower

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetrimonium bromide, peg-6 caprylic/capric glycerides) 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.
