Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Probiotic Refreshing Cleanser
Source: Credo Beauty
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glyceryl caprylate, lauryl betaine, polyglyceryl-10 laurate, polyglyceryl-3 polyricinoleate, sodium caproyl/lauroyl lactylate, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sorbitan oleate decylglucoside crosspolymer, 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.

Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Gentle exfoliation from rose quartz powder helps to remove dead skin and prevent ingrown hairs and razor bumps before they start.
Source: Credo Beauty
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.
An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)

Key Actives

The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation
