What the product description says
“Organics London Perfect Night's Sleep Cleansing Balm”
Source: Mankind

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin.

Keep in mind that cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.

Cera albaEffect: HighForms a protective barrier that holds water and keeps dry skin hydrated. Keeps an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, and increases the thickness of a product. Can be an allergen~5.4–8.1%
Exfoliation
No ingredient credited for this claim
Not delivered
What the product description says
“Infused with Natural Rice Powder, the cleanser gently but effectively exfoliates the skin, smoothing the surface to leave a more even texture.”
Source: Lookfantastic

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.
