What does the product description say?
Tangerine Brightening & Pore-Refining Cleanser
Source: From product name
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, glyceryl stearate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, lauric acid, myristic acid, peg-100 stearate, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, stearic acid, stearyl alcohol) 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.
