What does the product description say?

Purity 3-in-1 Biodegradable Wipes

Source: 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 (ceteareth-12, ceteareth-20, cetearyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate) 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.

ceteareth-12 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps water and oil mix together

ceteareth-20 0.3% - 0.55%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: Medium

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps oil and water mix together. Has some emollient properties

cetearyl alcohol 0.3% - 0.5%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: Medium

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture

Exfoliation

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: gluconolactone.

gluconolactone 3.1% - 3.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting in improved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores if used consistently (e.g over a period of 12 weeks) in high enough concentration. It can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals
