What the product description says
โ€œA trio consisting of cleansing wash, bamboo charcoal fiber mask and nourishing serum creates an easy and effective regime.โ€
Source: Walgreens

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (carbomer, cera alba, cocamidopropyl betaine, disodium cocoamphodiacetate, glyceryl caprylate, glyceryl stearate, hexylene glycol, lauric acid, myristic acid, peg-100 stearate, peg-60 hydrogenated castor oil, undecylenoyl glycine) 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: cocamidopropyl betaine
