What the product description says
“Garancia Source Micellaire Enchantée Orange Blossom Micellar Cleansing Water 400ml is a cleansing micellar water with the scent of orange blossom, which combines 4 actions in a single gesture: cleans, moisturizes, soothes and illuminates.”
Source: Cocoon Center

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glyceryl caprylate, polyglyceryl-4 caprate) 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.

Polyglyceryl-4 caprateEffect: High~4.8–7.2%
Glyceryl caprylateEffect: HighAn emollient that can also help water and oil mix together, as well as prevent bacteria growth in products~1–1.5%
