What the product description says
“For a deep cleanse (PM) Apply onto dry skin and massage for 30+ seconds to remove light makeup and SPF.”
Source: Lila Beauty

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (caprylyl/capryl glucoside, cetearyl olivate, glyceryl stearate se, glycol distearate, lauryl betaine, lauryl hydroxysultaine, polyglyceryl-4 caprate, polyglyceryl-6 caprylate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, sorbitan olivate, 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.

Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: sodium methyl cocoyl taurate
