What the product description says
“Regenerating Cleanser”
Source: Credo Beauty

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, cetearyl glucoside, cetearyl olivate, coco-glucoside, glyceryl caprylate, sorbitan olivate, sorbitan palmitate) 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-glucoside

Cetearyl alcoholEffect: HighA non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture~5.1–7.6%
Cetearyl olivateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~3.4–5.2%
Sorbitan olivateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~1.3–1.9%
Coco-glucosideEffect: HighUsed as a cleansing agent (surfactant) in cleansers. Helps water and oil mix together in lotions. Can be irritating~0.35–0.8%
Glyceryl caprylateEffect: HighAn emollient that can also help water and oil mix together, as well as prevent bacteria growth in products~0.2–0.75%
Sorbitan palmitateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together and stabilize the product formulation~0.15–0.6%
Cetearyl glucosideEffect: HighHelps water and oil in the product mix well together and improves product texture~0.15–0.7%
Exfoliation

What the product description says
“This natural daily exfoliator is Tata Harper′s bestselling cleanser.”
Source: Credo Beauty

This product might help exfoliate the skin with lactobacillus/punica granatum fruit ferment extract, but this ingredient is not the most effective.

Lactobacillus/punica granatum fruit ferment extractEffect: LowAn enzyme-based exfoliant~1–1.6%
Salix alba bark extractEffect: LowA plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. It contains a compound salicin that can theoretically be converted into salicylic acid that, in turn, helps reduce inflammation in skin, but the evidence of effectiveness in skin is lacking and the extract is usually not used in a concentration that would enable an exfoliating effect~0.55–1.3%
Anti-blemish
Salix alba bark extract, Kaolin
Not delivered
What the product description says
“Willow bark – naturally rich in salicylic acid – dissolves the bonds that bind dulling dead cells to skin’s surface, to refine overall texture and restore a more even, light-reflective surface; aloe vera – renowned for its reparative, skin soothing properties quickly combats irritation, inflammation and relieves sensitivity; pink clay draws impurities from the skin to minimise congestion and the likelihood of blemishes while apricot seed kernels provide gentle, physical exfoliation so skin feels smooth and looks polished.”
