What the product description says
“Just add water, and this cleanser transforms to exfoliate and brighten to reveal your true glow.”
Source: Soko Glam

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (carbomer, cetyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, hydrogenated lecithin, peg-100 stearate, polysorbate 20, sorbitan isostearate, stearyl alcohol) 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.

Peg-100 stearateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix togehter and creates a nice product texture~0.35–0.6%

What the product description says
“A mild exfoliating essence that smooths the skin texture, and clarifies the skin complexion with 95% kombucha and apple cider vinegar for luminous skin.”
Source: Soko Glam

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.

AllantoinEffect: Low, below effective doseHelps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated~0.1–0.2%
