What the product description says
“Red Tea Extract provides antioxidant protection. Protects skin against pre-mature aging. Can be used by all skin types.”

The biggest anti-aging effect in this product comes from sun protection. Sun damage is the main factor causing early signs of skin aging. We, however, do not recommend using this product as a sunscreen because the protection it offers is not strong enough).

Exfoliation
No ingredient credited for this claim
No evidence
What the product description says
“Benefits Provides both physical and chemical sunscreen coverage.”
Source: Skinstore

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.
