ExfoliationSalicylic acid, GluconolactoneWorks well
“It is also a fantastic exfoliant that targets, minimizes and flattens any blemishes on the skin!”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: salicylic acid.

CleansingGlyceryl stearate, Cetearyl alcohol + 12 moreCleanses gently
“The body wash has a liquid gel formula that feels soft and smooth on your skin, while the body serum has a lightweight texture that doesn’t feel tacky and leaves your skin feeling nourished and moisturized!”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (carbomer, cetearyl alcohol, cholesterol, coco-betaine, glyceryl stearate, glyceryl stearate se, hydrogenated lecithin, lauryl glucoside, sodium cocoyl alaninate, sodium cocoyl glycinate, sodium stearoyl glutamate, sorbitan caprylate, sorbitan stearate, 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.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: coco-betaine
