What the product description says
“WHY: give your skin the best possible start and finish each and every day by thoroughly removing all traces of pollution, dirt and make-up, whilst maintaining the skin's natural PH balance.”
Source: Boots

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (olive oil peg-7 esters, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, polysorbate 20) 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.

Polysorbate 20Effect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~2.5–3.7%
Olive oil peg-7 estersEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent~2.1–3.1%
