What the product description says
“Enoliss Perfect Skin Cleanser Micellar Water”
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 (heptyl glucoside, polyglyceryl-4 caprate) 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.

Heptyl glucosideEffect: High~3.7–5.5%
Polyglyceryl-4 caprateEffect: High~2.4–3.6%
Anti-blemish
Side benefit · Niacinamide
Works well

This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: niacinamide. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.

NiacinamideHeroEffect: HighIs proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture. The concentration of about 2% is effective for supporting the skin barrier and evening out the skin tone. Concentration of 4-6% is better for helping with acne and balancing the sebum production~2–3%
