“Topicrem AC Purifying Micellar Water 400ml is a micellar water that cleans and removes make-up from sensitive eyes and sensitive combination to oily acne-prone skin.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (caprylyl/capryl glucoside, polyglyceryl-4 caprate) 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.
