Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Retinol 24 + Peptide Face Wash, Smoothing, Sulfate-Free

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (carbomer, cetyl alcohol, decyl glucoside, lauryl glucoside, palmitic acid, steareth-2, steareth-21, stearyl alcohol) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently.
