What the product description says
โ€œPro-Radiance Cream Cleanser dissolves makeup and impurities while helping to defend against daily pollutants for a youthful-looking radiance.โ€
Source: Lookfantastic US

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cera alba, cetearyl alcohol, polyglyceryl-4 laurate/sebacate, polyglyceryl-6 caprylate/caprate, polysorbate 60, sorbitan 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.
