What the product description says
“A gentle cleansing milk enriched with the natural extracts of Hyssop and Alpine Glacier Water that removes traces of dirt, impurities and make-up without over-drying.”
Source: Swiss Image

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (disodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium cocoyl glutamate, 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.

Disodium cocoyl glutamateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together and works as a cleansing agent~1.1–1.6%
