What the product description says

“Gentle and hypoallergenic, the makeup remover washes away daily grime and makeup whilst soothing the complexion; skin looks and feels clean and fresh.”

Source: Recreate Yourself

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (disodium cocoamphodiacetate, hexylene glycol, poloxamer 184) 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.
