Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Soap Bark & Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream 170g The sumptuous face wash rids your pores of makeup and SPF, reducing the appearance of excessive oil and shine.
Source: Lookfantastic
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, coco-glucoside, quillaja saponaria bark extract, stearic acid, sucrose stearate, 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.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: coco-glucoside

Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
3g Utilising finely-ground peach stones, the facial scrub sloughs away any dead and dull skin cells, leaving a dewy aesthetic behind.

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.
A plant extract that might contain salicylic acid
