What the product description says
“Removes long-wearing makeup and unclogs pores with its creamy foam.”
Source: Yesstyle

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (arachidyl glucoside, glyceryl stearate, lauric acid, myristic acid, stearic acid) 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.

Lauric acidEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Has anti-bacterial properties that might be helpful in preventing blemishes~3.3–4%
Myristic acidEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Could be comedogenic~2–2.4%
