What the product description says
“The Some By Mi Lacto Soy Mild Peeling Bubble Cleanser is an innovative skincare solution that combines gentle exfoliation with deep cleansing.”
Source: Little Wonderland

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coconut acid, decyl glucoside, sodium cocoyl isethionate, xanthan gum) 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: decyl glucoside

Sodium cocoyl isethionateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent~25–37%
Coconut acidEffect: High~2.7–4.1%
Decyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~1.9–2.9%
Xanthan gumEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency~0.55–1.3%

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
