What does the product description say?
Glowing Greens Detoxifying Facial Cleansing Gel
Source: 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 (caprylic/capric glycerides polyglyceryl-10 esters, cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, decyl glucoside, lauryl glucoside, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium lauryl glucose carboxylate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, sorbeth-230 tetraoleate, sorbitan laurate, 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.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: cocamidopropyl betaine, decyl glucoside, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate

Might be somewhat helpful in reducing hyperpigmentation and neutralizing free radicals but its typical concentration in a product is too low for having an effect
Helps thicken the product formula and create a nice product formulation
A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting in improved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores if used consistently (e.g over a period of 12 weeks) in high enough concentration. It can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals
