“Multi-use: Use as a morning facial cleanser, makeup remover or in the shower for a face or body scrub!”
Source: Ulta

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate, 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.

What the product description says
“Teami Blends super skin brightening Green Tea Facial Scrub will be your new skincare bff! Made with organic matcha green tea, lemongrass and sugar, we formulated this natural exfoliator to be gentle enough for all skin types and buff away unwanted dead skin, without stripping your skin of its' natural oils.”

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.
