What the product description says
โ€œThis micellar cleanser effectively removes make-up from face and eyes.โ€
Source: La Roche Posay Canada

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (bis-peg-18 methyl ether dimethyl silane, carbomer, poloxamer 184, polysorbate 20) 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.
