“Powered by skin-loving actives and a clean formula, it keeps your complexion soft, even, and luminous from AM to PM.”

It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, cholesterol, polysorbate 20, sodium lauroyl lactylate, xanthan gum) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently.
