GinZing Refreshing Scrub Cleanser
Source: Origins
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, coco-betaine, decyl glucoside, disodium cocoyl glutamate, polysorbate 20, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium lauroyl oat amino acids, 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-betaine, decyl glucoside, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate

Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
• GinZing™ Refreshing Scrub Cleanser is a 2-in-1 gentle exfoliating scrub and brightening cleanser formulated with naturally derived exfoliators—plus Caffeine from Coffee Beans and Panax Ginseng—to help wake up tired-looking skin.
Source: Origins
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.
