What the product description says
“Refresh and revitalise skin with REN Clean Skincare Rosa Centifolia Cleanse and Reveal Hot Cloth Cleanser , a gentle makeup remover that soothes sensitivity.”
Source: Mankind

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cera alba, cetearyl alcohol, cetearyl glucoside, stearyl olivate, xanthan gum) 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.

Cetearyl alcoholEffect: HighA non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture~3.2–4.8%
Stearyl olivateEffect: High~2.1–3.1%
Cera albaEffect: HighForms a protective barrier that holds water and keeps dry skin hydrated. Keeps an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, and increases the thickness of a product. Can be an allergen~1.7–2.6%
Cetearyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps water and oil in the product mix well together and improves product texture~1–1.5%
Xanthan gumEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency~0.2–0.75%
