What does the product description say?
Water Bank Gentle Gel 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 (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.
