What the product description says

“Easily blendable, Holi Pop BB Cream Moist strengthens and moisturises dehydrated skin to increase elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines.”

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: alanine, arginine.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: arginine, dimethicone.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide ap, ceramide np

“Easily blendable, Holi Pop BB Cream Moist strengthens and moisturises dehydrated skin to increase elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines.”

Source: Beauty Bay

This product contains aspartic acid, serine, threonine. There is some human evidence that these ingredients help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin elasticity and firmness, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best anti-aging ingredients. 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

Not delivered

What the product description says

“The rich, nourishing formula simultaneously exfoliates dead skin cells for a smooth, hydrated finish.”

Source: Beauty Bay

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.
