What the product description says
“EltaMD Dermal Wound Cleanser was specifically developed to gently remove foreign material, such as debris and dirt, from sensitive post- procedure skin.”
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 (poloxamer 188) 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.
