“This gentle but effective exfoliating shower scrub is enriched with activated charcoal which binds to dirt, excess oil and impurities on the skin, helping to deeply cleanse without stripping, while buffing away dead skin cells to reveal ultra-soft skin.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, polyglyceryl-4 caprate, sodium lauryl sulfoacetate) 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: cocamidopropyl betaine

“This gentle but effective exfoliating shower scrub is enriched with activated charcoal which binds to dirt, excess oil and impurities on the skin, helping to deeply cleanse without stripping, while buffing away dead skin cells to reveal ultra-soft skin.”
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.
