What does the product description say?
Bright Balance Cleanser™ + Defying Gravity Moisturizer™
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 (carbomer, cetearyl alcohol, cetearyl olivate, cocamidopropyl betaine, hydroxyproline, polyglyceryl-4 caprate, polyglyceryl-6 caprylate, polysorbate 60, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate, sodium methyl oleoyl taurate, sorbitan isostearate, sorbitan olivate, 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.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: cocamidopropyl betaine
