What the product description says
“The ideal partner for those who dream of a cleansing water toner that's as effective as it is light, this weightless-like formula removes all traces of makeup at a stroke and reawakens the complexion while visibly maintaining the skin's balance.”

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (peg-40 glyceryl cocoate, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, poloxamer 184, sodium coceth sulfate) 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.
