What the product description says
“Dermo Purifyer Oil Control Micellar Cleansing Water”
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 (decyl glucoside, poloxamer 124, sodium cocoamphoacetate) 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: decyl glucoside

Poloxamer 124Effect: High~5.6–8.4%
Decyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~1.5–2.3%
Sodium cocoamphoacetateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent. Creates foam~0.95–1.4%
