What does the product description say?

La Roche-Posay Micellar Water Sensitive Skins 2 x 400ml is a cleansing, makeup-removing and soothing micellar water for sensitive skins.Thanks to an exclusive micellar technology based on mild surfactants and glycerin, it cleanses and eliminates impurities, makeup and fine particles of pollution.

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (caprylic/capric glycerides, peg-6 caprylic/capric glycerides, poloxamer 124, poloxamer 184, polysorbate 80) 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.
