What the product description says
“Cream Skin Milk Oil Cleanser”
Source: Laneige

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (c12-14 pareth-12, glyceryl caprylate, glyceryl stearate, glyceryl stearate citrate, inulin lauryl carbamate, polyglyceryl-3 distearate, sodium stearoyl glutamate, xanthan gum) 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.
