“This nutrient-packed scrub exfoliates, firms and nourishes skin with a rich blend of organic Shea and Mango Butters and a proprietary anti-oxidant Superfruit complex of Raspberry Ketone, Goji, Acai and Guava extracts, Green Coffee Bean extract helps smooth, contour, and firm.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, sucrose.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: butyrospermum parkii butter, simmondsia chinensis seed oil.

“Promotes a radiant, youthful appearance.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - butyrospermum parkii butter - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.

“This nutrient-packed scrub exfoliates, firms and nourishes skin with a rich blend of organic Shea and Mango Butters and a proprietary anti-oxidant Superfruit complex of Raspberry Ketone, Goji, Acai and Guava extracts, Green Coffee Bean extract helps smooth, contour, and firm.”
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.
