What the product description says
“This makeup remover gently and effectively removes waterproof eye makeup without rubbing or irritating sensitive eyes.”
Source: La roche posay US

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (hexylene glycol, poloxamer 184) 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.

Poloxamer 184Effect: High~1.2–1.8%
Hexylene glycolEffect: HighHelps create a more spreadable product texture~0.35–0.8%
