Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Containing a cleanser and a serum, the duo teams up to deliver your skin with a dose of nourishment.

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (linoleic acid, linolenic acid, sucrose laurate, sucrose stearate) 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.
An excellent emollient. Helps soften the skin, restore its barrier function, and can help to calm down inflammation. It can be helpful to prevent blemishes and clogged pores

Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Set Contents ESPA Optimal Skin Pro-Cleanser 100ml Multi-tasking as a cleanser, exfoliant and a mask, the cleanser sets to work to provide a smooth, brighter complexion.
Source: Lookfantastic
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.
