Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Rare Earth Deep Pore Detoxifying Concentrated Cleansing Bar
Source: Lookfantastic
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (arachidic acid, coconut acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, sodium cocoyl glycinate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, stearic acid) 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.

Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Offering gentle exfoliation alongside a nourishing wash, the Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Detoxifying Concentrated Cleansing Bar seeks to refine skin texture, while removing dirt and impurities.

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.
