What the product description says
“An oil based cleanser to gently remove dirt, grime and makeup.”
Source: Sephora New Zealand

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (polyglyceryl-2 sesquioleate, polyglyceryl-4 oleate) 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.

Polyglyceryl-4 oleateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~2.6–3.9%
Polyglyceryl-2 sesquioleateEffect: High~0.5–1.1%
