What the product description says
“Super Aqua Refreshing Cleansing Foam - Korean Beauty”
Source: Lila Beauty

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (ceteth-20, glycol distearate, lauramide dea, lauric acid, myristic acid, peg-40 stearate, 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.
