What the product description says
“Directions Cleanse your face, unfold mask and peel off one side of protective film.”
Source: Feelunique

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (polysorbate 60, sorbitan isostearate) 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.

Polysorbate 60Effect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.45–1.05%
Sorbitan isostearateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.45–1%
Exfoliation
No ingredient credited for this claim

What the product description says
“Infused with a potent botanical serum that improves the tone and texture of the skin, the high-performance formula combines peptides and AHA’s to exfoliate and brighten the skin instantly.”
Source: Feelunique

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.

Anti-blemish
Side benefit · Niacinamide
May help

This product might be able to help reduce blemishes and clogged pores because it contains niacinamide.

NiacinamideHeroEffect: HighIs proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture. The concentration of about 2% is effective for supporting the skin barrier and evening out the skin tone. Concentration of 4-6% is better for helping with acne and balancing the sebum production~2.1–3.1%
