What the product description says

“Sorbitol: Werkt als een krachtige moisturizer en helpt de huid om gedurende lange periode vocht vast te houden”

Source: Skin-shop.nl

Does not contain the most effective ingredients for moisturization. The humectants (hydrolyzed soy protein, butylene glycol) can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Keep in mind though that this product lacks emollients that can reduce the moisture loss over time. You might want to use a separate product emollients and occlusives like dimethicone, oils, or butters on top.

Exfoliation

No ingredient credited for this claim

Not delivered

What the product description says

“Enzymatic Skin Peeling”

Source: Skin-shop.nl

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.
