What does the product description say?
ALOE MICELLAR FACIAL CLEANSING GEL
Source: Equilibra
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (caprylyl/capryl glucoside, glyceryl caprylate, polyglyceryl-6 oleate, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium surfactin, 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.
Helps oil and water mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent
An emollient that can also help water and oil mix together, as well as prevent bacteria growth in products

Key Actives
A fermentation product created by bacteria Lactobacillus. The fermented product has anti-bacterial properties and might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but studies are lacking. Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Can be used as a preservative
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)
An emollient that can also help water and oil mix together, as well as prevent bacteria growth in products
