What does the product description say?
Replenishing Kyoto Cleanse & Nourish
Source: From product name
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (beheneth-20, diisostearyl malate, dipentaerythrityl hexahydroxystearate, glyceryl behenate/eicosadioate, lauryl betaine, polyglyceryl-10 dioleate, polyglyceryl-2 sesquicaprylate, polysorbate 60, sodium lauroyl glutamate, sodium lauroyl methylaminopropionate, sodium lauryl phosphate, sodium palmoyl glutamate, sorbitan isostearate, sorbitan tristearate) 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.

It can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals
