What the product description says
“Infused with Willowherb Extract, the lightweight gel transforms into a milky cleanser that melts away dirt, excess oil and all traces of face and eye makeup.”
Source: Lookfantastic

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (hydrogenated lecithin, polyglyceryl-10 laurate, polyglyceryl-10 pentaoleate, polyglyceryl-6 distearate) 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.

Polyglyceryl-10 laurateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together~1.4–2.1%
Polyglyceryl-10 pentaoleateEffect: High~0.45–1.05%
Polyglyceryl-6 distearateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together while softening the upper layer of the skin~0.35–0.8%
Hydrogenated lecithinEffect: HighHelps to retain moisture by creating a protective barrier on the skin. Rich in fatty acids. Improves product texture and helps with the penetration of other ingredients.~0.2–0.75%
