Key actives
Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
This formula includes alpha hydroxies to removed dead surface cells that may be clogging pores, leading to dry, aging skin.
Source: Walgreens
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: lactic acid.
An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)
Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function
A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin
Used to adjust pH of the product and can help improve the product's smell
Naturally present in skin and helps to attract water to its upper layer
A plant extract that can help calm down inflammation in skin. Can, however, itself be irritating
Potential irritants
A preservative. Is more irritating than many other preservatives available
A plant extract that can be irritating. It can have some anti-bacterial properties, but there are no evidence of a beneficial effect for skin
A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin
A plant extract that has an anti-bacterial effect
Oil of a very fragrant pink rose used as fragrance in cosmetics. Extensive research has shown it has mixed benefits. In the pro column, inhaling this flower’s scent seems to have relaxing properties and the plant’s petals contain skin-soothing and antioxidant compounds that can benefit skin. On the flipside, the numerous chemicals that create this rose’s distinctive fragrance pose a risk of causing skin aggravation.

Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Avoid if sensitive to gluten
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
A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.
