This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coconut acid, glyceryl stearate, sodium cocoyl glycinate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, 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: sodium methyl cocoyl taurate

Sodium cocoyl isethionateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent~4.3–6.4%
Sodium cocoyl glycinateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~2.3–3.5%
Coconut acidEffect: High~1.7–2.6%
Sodium methyl cocoyl taurateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be used as cleansing agent~1.3–2%
Glyceryl stearateEffect: HighAn emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together~0.4–0.95%
Xanthan gumEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency~0.2–0.8%

What the product description says
“Dieser sanfte und dennoch gründliche All-in-One-Reiniger entfernt Verunreinigungen, reguliert die Talgproduktion, um Hautunreinheiten zu reduzieren, und lindert Akne, während seine weiche, teigartige Textur eine doppelte Reinigung überflüssig macht.”

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.

KaolinEffect: LowA type of clay that consists mainly of aluminum silicate. Helps absorb oil and creates a thicker product consistency. Can be used to add a white color~1–1.6%
Camellia sinensis leaf extractEffect: Low, below effective doseCan contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation~0.05–0.2%
Exfoliation

“Reispulver peelt sanft und Kaolin absorbiert überschüssigen Talg, ohne auszutrocknen.”

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
