What the product description says

“This Hydrating Micellar Water gently removes impurities and make-up from the face and eyes without drying out skin.”

Source: Yves Rocher

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (polyglyceryl-4 caprate, polyglyceryl-6 caprylate, sodium cocoamphoacetate) 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.

Polyglyceryl-6 caprylateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~2.4–3.6%

Polyglyceryl-4 caprateEffect: High~2–3%

Sodium cocoamphoacetateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent. Creates foam~1.4–2.1%
