What the product description says
“Neroli Bigarade Cleansing Mousse”
Source: Allbeauty

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, glyceryl stearate se, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, peg-60 glyceryl isostearate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, stearic acid) 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: cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate

What the product description says
“Cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the complexion with Decléor Neroli Bigarade Cleansing Mousse, a three-in-one concentrated cream cleaner that leaves the skin soft, supple, smooth, and looking luminous.”

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.
