Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Highlighted Ingredients • Infused with soothing Bija Seed Oil • Willow Bark Extract Plant-derived Salicylic Acid that works as a BHA and helps clear build-up • Menthol-infused formula provides soothing, cooling sensation • Hydrating Rose Extract, Cocoa Extract, and Glycerin for a non-stripping, gentle cleanse
Source: Innisfree
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, dextrin.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
• Gently exfoliates dead skin cells and helps with excess sebum. • Formulated without alcohol. • Non-comedogenic tested.
Source: Innisfree
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.
A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. It contains a compound salicin that can theoretically be converted into salicylic acid that, in turn, helps reduce inflammation in skin, but the evidence of effectiveness in skin is lacking and the extract is usually not used in a concentration that would enable an exfoliating effect
