Key actives
Cleansing
What does the product description say?
A revitalising exfoliator to deeply cleanse, clarify and smooth, while protecting the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
Source: Recreate Yourself
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate se, olive oil peg-7 esters, polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate, xanthan gum) 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.

Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
A revitalising exfoliator to deeply cleanse, clarify and smooth, while protecting the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
Source: Recreate Yourself
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.
Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated
