What the product description says
“Cleansing skin cleansing pores dirt by clay and vinegar formulation.”
Source: Yesstyle

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (carbomer, cholesterol, sodium lauroyl lactylate, 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.

Sodium lauroyl lactylateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together~0.25–0.4%
CarbomerEffect: HighHelps create a thicker or gel-like product texture. It is not a surfactant but can be used in gentle cleansing formulations~0.15–0.3%
CholesterolEffect: HighAn emollient that is naturally found in skin~0.15–0.25%
Xanthan gumEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency~0.1–0.2%
