Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Clarimatte T-Zone Control Cleansing Gel
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 (carbomer, cetearyl alcohol, cetearyl glucoside) 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.
Helps create a thicker or gel-like product texture. It is not a surfactant but can be used in gentle cleansing formulations
A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture
Helps water and oil in the product mix well together and improves product texture
Anti-blemish
What does the product description say?
Specially formulated with willow, cranberry and lavender, it draws out excess sebum from the skin, unclogs pores and utilises an antimicrobial agent to reduce the risk of breakouts.

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
This product is designed to provide gentle exfoliation, removing dirt and keeping the skin healthy.
Source: SpaceNK
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.
A plant extract that might contain salicylic acid
