This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: helianthus annuus seed oil, octyldodecanol.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).

An emollient that helps to soften the skin and create a pleasant product texture and stabilize the formulation
A plant oil that helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and can help restore the skin barrier. Might have some anti-oxidant effect

Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Each drop of this bi-phase formula is loaded with Fermented Pumpkin and Acerola Cherry, both rich in brightening AHAs.
Source: Ulta
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.
