What the product description says
“Lait VIP O2 is the anti-pollution cleanser, purifying the skin of tiny polluting particles that are sometimes even smaller than the pores on the face.”
Source: N/A

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (ceteareth-12, ceteareth-20, cetearyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, poloxamer 188) 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.
