What the product description says
“Everyday gel facial cleanser with a relaxing aroma removes impurities and helps improve makeup adherence.”
Source: Yesstyle

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (isostearic acid, laureth-21, laureth-6 carboxylic acid, steareth-13) 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.
