What the product description says
“Fuelled by a delicate blend, the formula gently but effectively uplifts dirt, impurities and leftover makeup from the skin’s surface, detoxifying the complexion.”
Source: Lookfantastic

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (disodium succinate, peg-60 hydrogenated castor oil, triethanolamine) 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.

TriethanolamineEffect: HighUsed to adjust pH of the product and can help improve the product's smell~0.35–0.8%
