Source: Feelunique

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.

Glycolic acidKey activeEffect: HighAn alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps to remove the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin reveling a more even, smoother complexation. It is also able to stimulate collagen production with long-term use. Could help to reduce pore congestion. It can be irritating to the skin. Apply sunscreen daily if using products with glycolic acid~0.15–0.3%

What the product description says
“BeautyLabreg; Anti-Ageing Silk Cleanser”
From product name

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cera alba, cetyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, glyceryl stearate se, laureth-4, peg-100 stearate, sodium cocoyl isethionate) 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.

Glyceryl stearate seEffect: HighUsed to stabilize the product formulations and works as an emollient~3.9–4.8%
Cetyl alcoholEffect: HighA non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together~2.4–2.9%

Peg-100 stearateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix togehter and creates a nice product texture~1.5–1.9%
Laureth-4Effect: HighHelps water and oil mix together~1.2–1.4%
Cera albaEffect: HighForms a protective barrier that holds water and keeps dry skin hydrated. Keeps an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, and increases the thickness of a product. Can be an allergen~1.1–1.3%
Sodium cocoyl isethionateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent~0.5–0.8%
