What the product description says
โ€œDoctor Refine Cellular Detox Lipo Cleanserโ€
Source: Skinstore

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glyceryl behenate, peg-8 caprylic/capric glycerides, polyglyceryl-3 diisostearate) 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.

Peg-8 caprylic/capric glyceridesEffect: High~5โ€“7.5%
Polyglyceryl-3 diisostearateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~3.4โ€“5.1%
Glyceryl behenateEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency and help soften the upper layer of the skin~2.2โ€“3.3%
