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, glyceryl stearate, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, peg-100 stearate, potassium cocoyl glycinate, sorbitan olivate, 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.

Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: cocamidopropyl betaine

Myristic acidEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Could be comedogenic~6.3–7.7%
Palmitic acidEffect: HighAn emollient that is naturally present in skin and helps soften it~2.4–2.9%
Stearic acidEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient~2.1–2.5%
Cocamidopropyl betaineEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen~2–2.4%
Lauric acidEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Has anti-bacterial properties that might be helpful in preventing blemishes~1.7–2.1%
Sorbitan olivateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.95–1.15%
Potassium cocoyl glycinateEffect: High~0.7–1.1%
Glyceryl stearateEffect: HighAn emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together~0.65–1%
Peg-100 stearateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix togehter and creates a nice product texture~0.25–0.5%

What the product description says
“Made with DOT (TM), c-PDRN, LHA, and PHA to gently remove dead skin cells and excess sebum. Keeps skin hydrated while cleansing.”

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: capryloyl salicylic acid.

Capryloyl salicylic acidKey activeEffect: High~0.3–0.6%
GluconolactoneUnder-dosedA 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~0.3–0.55%
