What the product description says
“A fine foam that cleanses impurities while protecting ceramides for optimal moisture rentention”
Source: Supderdrug

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (lauryl hydroxysultaine, polysorbate 60, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium lauroyl aspartate) 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.
