Cleansing

Exfoliating Cleanser
Source: From product name
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetyl alcohol, cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, coco-glucoside, decyl glucoside, glyceryl caprylate, glyceryl oleate, glyceryl stearate, glyceryl undecylenate, sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate, 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-glucoside, decyl glucoside, glyceryl oleate, sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate

Exfoliating Cleanser
Source: From product name
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: glycolic acid.
An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps to remove the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin reveling a more even, smoother complexation. It is also able to stimulate collagen production with long-term use. Could help to reduce pore congestion. It can be irritating to the skin. Apply sunscreen daily if using products with glycolic acid
Anti-blemish
What does the product description say?
Fortified with Jojoba Beads, Triple-Action Peptides and 10% Glycolic Acid, the luxurious cleanser expertly eliminates dirt and impurities, whilst buffing the skin's surface to diminish dead, dull cells.
