I didn't find anything about the face wash though, but it might be similar
AnswerHello again Harry!
To be frank, there are ingredients in this cream that I couldn't find any info about although I suspect they create a film on the skin to keep moisture in. But there's nothing in there that would provide real moisturizing action. As far as the lightening effect, it'd be more efficient if you were washing your face every day with 1:1 dilution of lemon juice in water.
In my opinion, this product is a total waste of money as SPF 15 is not enough to protect you well if you're outdoor a lot during high UV index weather and it doesn't provide neither the hydration (although it might feel like, deceptively), nor the exfoliation nor the skin lightening. Bottom line, I wouldn't recommend it for you. But feel free to use it and see if it works for you if you're so curious about it.
Meanwhile, think of what I wrote to you in my previous answer and keep lemon juice close by: it does have a lightening and clearing effect on the skin that has been known for a long time.
I hope you find this answer helpful.
Have a beautiful day,
Take good care
