What does the product description say?
The Fab Pore Purifying Foam Cleanser
Source: From product name
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin.

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, coco-glucoside, glyceryl oleate, sodium laureth sulfate
