It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (disodium cocoamphodiacetate, hydroxypropyl guar, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate) 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.
