What the product description says
“Prestige Cleansing Scrub”
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 (peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, polyglyceryl-3 beeswax) 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: peg-7 glyceryl cocoate

Peg-7 glyceryl cocoateEffect: HighHelps oils and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent~3.3–5%
Polyglyceryl-3 beeswaxEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Could be an allergen (beeswax)~0.6–1.35%
Exfoliation

What the product description says
“Use Dior Prestige Le Sucre de Gommage face scrub 2 to 3 times a week.”
Source: Feelunique

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.
