Key actives
Anti-blemish

Is proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles.

Cleansing
What does the product description say?
The Brightener Vitamin C Brightening Body Wash
Source: Naturium
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamide mipa, cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, coco-glucoside, glycol distearate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate) 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.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: coco-glucoside, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate
