Cleansing
What does the product description say?
The Skin Renewing Peel Treatment, from Clarisonic the #1 cleansing device brand used and recommended by U. S. dermatologists*, is a mild exfoliating formula for anyone who wants a fresh, youthful glow.
Source: Ulta
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-betaine, peg-120 methyl glucose dioleate, sodium laureth sulfate, steareth-100, triethanolamine) 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, sodium laureth sulfate
Works as a foaming cleansing agent
Helps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent. Can be allergenic
Used to adjust pH of the product and can help improve the product's smell
Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
The Skin Renewing Peel Treatment works with all Clarisonic brush heads, but is also specially formulated for use with Clarisonic Sonic Exfoliator to boost the power of exfoliation to the next level.

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: capryloyl salicylic acid, glycolic acid.
An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps to remove the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin reveling a more even, smoother complexation. It is also able to stimulate collagen production with long-term use. Could help to reduce pore congestion. It can be irritating to the skin. Apply sunscreen daily if using products with glycolic acid
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)
Anti-blemish
What does the product description say?
A potent blend of Glycolic Acid and Lipo Hydroxy Acid improves skin tone and texture, micro-peels dulling skin surface layers to promote healthy cell turnover, and deep cleanses excess oils and congested pores.

This product contains ingredients (capryloyl salicylic acid, glycolic acid) that could help reduce blemishes and clogged pores in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
