What does the product description say?
Nourishing micellar milky precleanse lifts away dirt, oil, and make-up while helping balance skin’s microbiome with prebiotics.
Source: Dermalogica
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (capryloyl glycine, hexylene glycol, peg-60 hydrogenated castor oil, polysorbate 20, potassium cetyl phosphate, sodium astrocaryum murumuruate) 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.
