What the product description says
“This intensive body sculpting treatment combines active botanical oils and extracts proven to tone skin, enhance collagen levels, and protect against future loss of elasticity.”
Source: Feelunique

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: caprylic/capric triglyceride, helianthus annuus seed 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
No support
What the product description says
“Papaya Enzymes , promotes cell renewal so skin will feel smoother and more toned.”
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.
