What does the product description say?

"Cleanance Localised Drying Emulsion"

From product name

WIMJ summary for cleansing

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (arachidyl glucoside, glyceryl stearate, peg-100 stearate, polysorbate 60, sorbitan isostearate) 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.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
arachidyl glucoside	HIGH
glyceryl stearate	HIGH
peg-100 stearate	HIGH

WIMJ summary for exfoliation

This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: glycolic acid.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
glycolic acid	HIGH
