What the product description says
“Almond and Coconut Oils: Naturally occurring moisturisers aid skin hydration for maximum nourishment.”
Source: Mio

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: caprylic/capric triglyceride, cocos nucifera oil.

Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).

Exfoliation
No ingredient credited for this claim
Not delivered
What the product description says
“This moisture-rich, exfoliating scrub utilises the power of Bitter Orange Peel and Salt particles to gently buff away dead skin cells to reveal dewy, fresh, healthy-looking skin.”
Source: Mio

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.
