What does the product description say?

DermaClear Cleanser

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 (carbomer, cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, peg-60 almond glycerides, polysorbate 20, triethanolamine) 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.

cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine 4.3% - 6.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Used as a cleansing agent. Helps water and oil mix together

polysorbate 20 2.3% - 3.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps oil and water mix together

triethanolamine 1.6% - 2.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Used to adjust pH of the product and can help improve the product's smell

Exfoliation

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: mandelic acid.

mandelic acid 1.3% - 2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps shed the upper layer of dead cells from the surface of the skin revealing smoother, brighter skin. It can help to reduce hyperpigmentation. It has anti-bacterial properties, and might help to reduce blemishes, as well as fine lines and wrinkles. It is considered to be gentler than glycolic acid

retinyl palmitate 0.05% - 0.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect
