What the product description says
“With its patented double-dispensing bottle, it removes make-up and cleanses to leave the skin luminous, relaxed and moisturised thanks to the tensing effect of Hyaluronic Acid and Damask Rose Water.”

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (decyl glucoside, polyglyceryl-4 caprylate, sodium lauroyl glutamate) 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.

Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: decyl glucoside

Polyglyceryl-4 caprylateEffect: High~0.9–1.35%
Decyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~0.45–1.05%
Sodium lauroyl glutamateEffect: HighUsed as a cleansing agent. It creates foam~0.4–0.95%
