What the product description says
“This rich creamy cleanser is ideal for skin experiencing any kind of inflammation, including aging, dry, damaged and sensitive skin.”
Source: SkincareRX

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetyl alcohol, glyceryl myristate, glycol stearate, peg-32 stearate, peg-35 castor oil, peg-6 oleate, peg-6 stearate, 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.
