What does the product description say?
Braless Hydrating Wash with Plant-Based Retinol
Source: Sephora CA
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (capryloyl/caproyl methyl glucamide, cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamidopropyl dimethylamine, cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, decyl glucoside, glyceryl oleate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate, sodium lauroyl lactylate) 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: capryloyl/caproyl methyl glucamide, cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamidopropyl dimethylamine, decyl glucoside, glyceryl oleate, sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate

Key Actives
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
A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals
