This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (babassuamidopropyl betaine, candida bombicola/glucose/methyl rapeseedate ferment, cocamidopropyl betaine, glyceryl arachidonate, glyceryl caprylate, glyceryl laurate, hexylene glycol, hydrogenated lecithin, peg-6 caprylic/capric glycerides, potassium cocoate, potassium cocoyl glycinate, potassium cocoyl hydrolyzed oat protein, quillaja saponaria bark extract, sodium cocoyl apple amino acids, sodium cocoyl glycinate, sodium surfactin, xanthan gum, yucca schidigera leaf/root/stem extract) 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.

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.
Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect
