What the product description says
“This ultra-gentle liquid cleansing treatment works as a 3-in-1 cleanser, toner and makeup remover.”
Source: Perricone MD

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (carbomer, carnitine, cetrimonium chloride, peg-6 caprylic/capric glycerides) 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: cetrimonium chloride

Peg-6 caprylic/capric glyceridesEffect: HighHelps dissolve other ingredients~4.6–7%
CarnitineEffect: High~3.7–5.5%
CarbomerEffect: HighHelps create a thicker or gel-like product texture. It is not a surfactant but can be used in gentle cleansing formulations~0.55–1.25%
Cetrimonium chlorideEffect: HighA preservative~0.05–0.1%
