What the product description says

“Buy Torriden Balanceful Cleansing Foam in Australia , Korean Skincare Online”

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 (coconut acid, decyl glucoside, glyceryl stearate se, lauric acid, lauryl glucoside, potassium cocoate, potassium cocoyl glycinate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, 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.

What the product description says

“Combines deep pore exfoliation and breakout reduction with gentle, moisturising benefits.”

Source: Lila Beauty

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: salicylic acid.
