What does the product description say?
CeraVe Hydrating Micellar Water its 3-in-1 formula with ceramides cleanses, hydrates, and removes makeup without disrupting the protective skin barrier.
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (carbomer, cholesterol, peg-6 caprylic/capric glycerides, sodium lauroyl lactylate, 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.
