Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Acai Berry + Oats Antioxidant Gel 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 (cholesterol, coco-betaine, coco-glucoside, hydrogenated lecithin, polysorbate 20, quillaja saponaria bark extract, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium cocoyl isethionate) 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, coco-glucoside

Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
The grain complex exfoliates gently, tackling dullness and hyperpigmentation, while Centella Asiatica soothes and calms sensitive skin, reducing redness.

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.
An effective moisturizing ingredient that also has been shown to be effective in evening out the skin tone and reducing hyperpigmentation. It can help somewhat reduce wrinkles in skin
