Cleansing
Cetyl alcohol, Polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate + 7 more
Cleanses gently

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, palmitic acid, polyglyceryl-10 laurate, polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate, potassium cetyl phosphate, sorbitan isostearate, 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 the product description says
“Helps absorb excessive sebum and purify pores and gives gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and skin impurities.”
Source: Lila Beauty

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.

What the product description says
