What does the product description say?

"Glycolic, lactic, tartaric, and citric acids exfoliate the surface of your skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines, blemishes and dullness, whilst salicylic acid extends deeper into the surface to clear pore congestion."

From: Escentual

WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

It can get the job done. Best in class ingredients detected

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
glycolic acid	HIGH
lactic acid	MEDIUM

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	glycolic acid	An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps to remove the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin reveling a more even, smoother complexation. It is also able to stimulate collagen production with long-term use. Could help to reduce pore congestion. It can be irritating to the skin. Apply sunscreen daily if using products with glycolic acid
2	aqua (water	Plain old water
3	aloe barbadensis leaf water	Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but data on its effectiveness is lacking. While the majority of the content is plain water, it can contain some goodies like vitamins, enzymes, minerals, and humectants that help attract water into the skin
4	sodium hydroxide	Used to adjust the product's pH
5	daucus carota sativa extract
6	propanediol	Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin
7	cocamidopropyl dimethylamine	Helps oil and water mix together. Can work as a cleansing agent. Can be irritating
8	salicylic acid	Used for skin exfoliation. It has an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effect, helps to unclog pores, prevent blemishes and speed up healing of the existing ones. Sometimes referred to as a BHA (beta-hydroxy acid)
9	lactic acid	An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiom)
10	tartaric acid	An AHA (alpha-hydroxy acid). It oxidizes quickly which makes it less effective in skincare formulations. It can support skin's barrier and moisture levels
11	citric acid	Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
12	panthenol	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function
13	sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer	Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
14	tasmannia lanceolata fruit/leaf extract
15	glycerin	One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant
16	pentylene glycol	Used to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture
17	xanthan gum	Used to create a thicker product consistency
18	polysorbate 20	Helps oil and water mix together
19	trisodium ethylenediamine disuccinate	Used to improve stability of the formulation
20	potassium sorbate	A preservative
21	sodium benzoate	A preservative
22	ethylhexylglycerin	A preservative
23	1,2-hexanediol	A preservative
24	caprylyl glycol	Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
