What the product description says
“A creamy facial cleanser that is mildly acidic, creates a soft lather, and thoroughly protects the moisture in dry skin while removing dirt that has penetrated into the pores, leaving skin moist and soft.”
Source: N/A

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate, glyceryl stearate se, potassium cocoyl glycinate) 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.

Potassium cocoyl glycinateEffect: High~5.6–8.3%
Disodium lauryl sulfosuccinateEffect: HighUsed as a cleansing agent. Helps water and oil mix together~2.1–3.1%
Glyceryl stearate seEffect: HighUsed to stabilize the product formulations and works as an emollient~1.3–2%
