Key actives
Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Oatmeal Extract - softens and nourishes for healthy looking skin
Source: Ulta
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:
diglycerin, glycerin.
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: hydrogenated jojoba oil, pentylene glycol.
A type of oatmeal extract. Helps restore skin barrier and has antioxidant properties

Anti-blemish
What does the product description say?
Grapefruit Seed Extract - works to unclog pores and remove build-up of oil on skin

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Shine Bright Citrus Face Scrub
Source: Ulta
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.
