Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Black Mint Cleanser
Source: From product name
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (capric/lauric/myristic/oleic amidopropyl betaine, decyl glucoside, glyceryl caprylate, lauryl glucoside, sodium cocoyl apple amino acids, 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.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: decyl glucoside

Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
The creamy foam derived from apple amino acid is tough on impurities yet gentle on skin, lifting away impurities and working to reduce shine, while respecting the delicate moisture of the skin.
Source: Content
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.
