What the product description says

“Dermo Purifyer Oil Control Cleansing Gel”

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 (sodium cocoamphoacetate, sodium laureth sulfate) 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: sodium laureth sulfate

Sodium cocoamphoacetateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent. Creates foam~11–16%

Sodium laureth sulfateEffect: HighWorks as a foaming cleansing agent~2.7–4%
