What the product description says
“A cleansing foam cleanses the skin impurities gently and thoroughly while helping maintain the pH balance of sensitive skin.”
Source: Yesstyle

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-glucoside, polyglyceryl-4 caprate, sodium cocoyl apple amino acids) 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: coco-glucoside

Sodium cocoyl apple amino acidsEffect: High~7.7–9.4%
Coco-glucosideEffect: HighUsed as a cleansing agent (surfactant) in cleansers. Helps water and oil mix together in lotions. Can be irritating~5.9–7.2%
Polyglyceryl-4 caprateEffect: High~0.2–0.4%
