What the product description says
“It’s a balm-breakthrough! Charlotte Tilbury's Multi-Miracle Glow works its magic as a cleanser, overnight mask, and SOS face and body balm!”
Source: Beautylish

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (sucrose stearate, 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.

Sucrose stearateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together~2.7–4.1%
Xanthan gumEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency~0.55–1.25%

Rubus chamaemorus seed oilA berry extract that can have some anti-oxidant properties. It helps to preserve product formulations and improve their smell. It can be irritatingHigh~0.3–0.7%est.
Retinyl palmitateThree steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effectHigh~0.2–0.7%est.
