What the product description says

“Micellar Water Facial Cleanser Sensitive Skin”

Source: Lookfantastic

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.

Hexylene glycolEffect: HighHelps create a more spreadable product texture~7.4–11.1%

Disodium cocoamphodiacetateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent~3.1–4.7%

Poloxamer 184Effect: High~0.5–1.2%
