Cream to Foam 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 (behentrimonium methosulfate, carbomer, cetearyl alcohol, cholesterol, coco-betaine, coco-glucoside, coconut acid, glyceryl oleate, glyceryl stearate, glycol distearate, peg-100 stearate, peg-150 pentaerythrityl tetrastearate, peg-30 dipolyhydroxystearate, peg-6 caprylic/capric glycerides, polysorbate 60, ppg-5-ceteth-20, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium lauroyl lactylate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, sorbitan isostearate, trideceth-6, 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-betaine, coco-glucoside, glyceryl oleate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate

Exfoliation
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. 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: hydroxyethyl urea.
A derivative of urea, a compound that is naturally present in skin. Attracts water to the upper layer of the skin. Can enhance penetration of other ingredients
Used for skin exfoliation. It has an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effect, helps to unclog pores, prevent blemishes and speed up healing of the existing ones. Sometimes referred to as a BHA (beta-hydroxy acid)
