What the product description says
“EradiKate Daily Cleanser Acne Treatment”
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 (coco-glucoside, coconut alcohol, hexylene glycol, sodium cocoyl isethionate, stearyl alcohol, xanthan gum) 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: coco-glucoside

Sodium cocoyl isethionateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent~11–13%
Coco-glucosideEffect: HighUsed as a cleansing agent (surfactant) in cleansers. Helps water and oil mix together in lotions. Can be irritating~6.2–7.6%
Coconut alcoholEffect: High~2.2–2.7%
Stearyl alcoholEffect: HighAn emollient that helps soften the skin~1.5–1.8%
Xanthan gumEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency~0.35–0.6%
Hexylene glycolEffect: HighHelps create a more spreadable product texture~0.3–0.5%
