This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glyceryl caprylate, polyglyceryl-10 laurate) 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.

glyceryl caprylate 1.3% - 2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An emollient that can also help water and oil mix together, as well as prevent bacteria growth in products

polyglyceryl-10 laurate 1.7% - 2.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps water and oil mix together

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

Formulated with AHA to provide gentle exfoliation and panthenol to help soothe the skin.

Source: Innisfree

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.

lactic acid 0.05% - 0.15%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

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)

Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals.

The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation
