What the product description says
“exfoliate dead epidermal cells”
Source: N/A

This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: mandelic acid.

Mandelic acidKey activeEffect: HighHelps shed the upper layer of dead cells from the surface of the skin revealing smoother, brighter skin. It can help to reduce hyperpigmentation. It has anti-bacterial properties, and might help to reduce blemishes, as well as fine lines and wrinkles. It is considered to be gentler than glycolic acid~1.1–1.4%
Zinc gluconateEffect: Low, below effective doseTypically used to stabilize the product formulations. It is a salt of a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) and in larger concentrations, can help shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. It can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Might to be helpful against acne and clogged pores. Could be helpful in neutralizing free radicals, but solid research is missing. Due to the zinc content, might help calm down inflammation in skin~0.6–0.9%

What the product description says
“T Deep Cleansing Face Gel Puri-Sebogel”
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 (cocamidopropyl betaine, coco-glucoside, coconut acid, lauryl alcohol, peg-18 glyceryl oleate/cocoate, peg-20 methyl glucose sesquistearate, peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate) 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: cocamidopropyl betaine, coco-glucoside

Cocamidopropyl betaineEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen~8.6–10.5%
Coco-glucosideEffect: HighUsed as a cleansing agent (surfactant) in cleansers. Helps water and oil mix together in lotions. Can be irritating~5.4–6.6%
Peg-18 glyceryl oleate/cocoateEffect: High~1.9–2.3%
Peg-7 glyceryl cocoateEffect: HighHelps oils and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent~1.6–2%
Coconut acidEffect: High~0.35–0.65%
Lauryl alcoholEffect: High~0.3–0.6%
Peg-20 methyl glucose sesquistearateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.2–0.35%
Peg-40 hydrogenated castor oilEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.2–0.35%
