What does the product description say?
Barrier Renew Gel-To-Foam Cleanser
Source: RoC Skincare
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, glyceryl behenate, oleic acid, polyglyceryl-4 isostearate, polysorbate 20, sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate, sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate) 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, sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate
