What the product description says
“Lacto Collagen Cleansing Oil”
Source: Yesstyle

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (candida bombicola/glucose/methyl rapeseedate ferment, sorbeth-30 tetraoleate) 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.

Candida bombicola/glucose/methyl rapeseedate fermentEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together and preserve the product formulation~2.8–3.5%

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.

Oenothera biennis oilEffect: LowHelps soften the upper layer of the skin and can support skin barrier function~1.3–1.6%
Camellia sinensis leaf extractEffect: LowCan contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation~0.55–0.85%
Centella asiatica leaf extractEffect: LowA plant extract that has been shown to be able to reduce inflammation in skin, support restoration of skin barrier function, as well as support collagen production. It can be irritating to sensitive skin. Might be helpful in preventing stretch marks. It could, however, itself be irritating.~0.5–0.8%
