What does the product description say?
The Foaming Cleanser
Source: 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 (arachidyl glucoside, behenic acid, cetearyl alcohol, glycol distearate, hydrogenated lecithin, oleic acid, palmitic acid, sodium cetearyl sulfate, sodium cocoyl glycinate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium lauryl sulfoacetate, sunflower seed acid, 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.

Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Orobanche rapum extract Gently exfoliates, promoting skin cell renewal, balancing the microflora, and smoothing the complexion.

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.
