What the product description says

“The non-greasy formula gently cleanses, tones and moisturizes skin, and is free from fragrances, colorings and mineral oils.”

Source: Yesstyle

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (carbomer, glycine soja protein, peg-7 caprylic/capric glycerides, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, 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.

Peg-7 glyceryl cocoateEffect: HighHelps oils and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent~2.4–3.6%

Peg-7 caprylic/capric glyceridesEffect: High~2–3%

Glycine soja proteinEffect: HighA plant extract that helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and soften it. It might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals. It might be somewhat helpful for evening out the skin tone. It might be able to support elastin production but solid research is lacking~1.3–2%

CarbomerEffect: HighHelps create a thicker or gel-like product texture. It is not a surfactant but can be used in gentle cleansing formulations~0.5–1.15%

Xanthan gumEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency~0.4–0.9%
