Key actives
Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Instead, when you rinse, your skin feels refreshed and clean.
Source: Versed
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, glyceryl stearate se, peg-100 stearate, polysorbate 60, sorbitan stearate, xanthan gum) 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.

Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
The clays (koalin and bentonite) mildly exfoliate skin to remove dead skin cells and sop up excess sebum and oil.
Source: Versed
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.
