What the product description says
“Mizon Pore Fresh Mild Acid Gel Cleanser helps to remove makeup and impurities from the skin.”
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 (disodium cocoamphodiacetate, hexylene glycol, lauryl hydroxysultaine, potassium cocoate, potassium cocoyl glycinate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate) 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: sodium methyl cocoyl taurate

Lauryl hydroxysultaineEffect: High~7.2–10.8%
Potassium cocoyl glycinateEffect: High~2–3%
Disodium cocoamphodiacetateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent~1.6–2.3%
Sodium methyl cocoyl taurateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be used as cleansing agent~1.4–2.1%
Potassium cocoateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent~0.85–1.25%
Hexylene glycolEffect: HighHelps create a more spreadable product texture~0.01–0.05%
