What the product description says
“This cleanser infuses hyaluronic acid to gently cleanse your face while maintaining the same moisture level.”
Source: Glowsecret

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamide dea, cocamidopropyl betaine, peg-80 sorbitan laurate) 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.

Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: cocamidopropyl betaine

Cocamidopropyl betaineEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen~2.8–4.2%
Cocamide deaEffect: High~1.6–2.5%
Peg-80 sorbitan laurateEffect: High~1.4–2%
