What the product description says
โ€œThis foaming cleanser is designed to effectively remove dirt and oil without stripping skin of essential moisture.โ€
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 (capryloyl glycine, cocamide mipa, cocamidopropyl betaine, glyceryl caprylate, glycol distearate, polyglyceryl-4 caprylate/caprate, polyglyceryl-4 laurate/sebacate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, stearic acid) 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
