What the product description says
“The Collistar Anti-Age Talasso Scrub gently and effectively exfoliates the skin to reveal a natural radiant glow.”
Source: Lookfantastic

This product might help exfoliate the skin with maris sal, but This ingredient is not the most effective.

Maris salEffect: LowUsed to thicken the product formulation and might help to add minerals to the surface of the skin. It is used in scrubs as a physical exfoliant. Can increase sensitivity to other ingredients if left on the skin or used in high concentration~22–33%
Anti-oxidation
Side benefit · Squalene, Tocopherol
May help

This product contains antioxidants (squalene) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

SqualeneKey activeEffect: MediumAn oil that is naturally part of skin sebum that helps to soften its upper layer, reduce water loss and neutralize free radicals. It might be comedogenic. Avoid applying large concentrations (or pure oil) before sun exposure as oxidized squalene can clog pores and lead to skin irritation. Today squalene is mostly derived from vegetable oils or synthetized by yeast~0.95–1.4%
TocopherolUnder-dosedPure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself~0.9–1.4%
Moisturizing
Side benefit the brand mentions · Caprylic/capric triglyceride, Ethylhexyl palmitate + 5 more

What the product description says
“Infused with powerful AHA’s and vitamin C, the refining formula promotes an ultra-smooth and supple appearance, while delivering an illuminating finish.”
