Exfoliating cleanser, toner, peel? What's the difference? (sh.itjust.works)

I am new to skincare and am looking to introduce exfoliation into my oily skin routine. On Yesstyle, I'm mostly seeing exfoliating toners such as Cosrx AHA/BHA. Is that equivalent to an exfoliating cleanser that I could use once or twice a week? It seems odd to me that exfoliation removes dead skin and sebum, yet it would be left on the skin as a toner. Please help this noob to understand the difference.

Thank you, this is very helpful. I've seen people online say that some of the toners don't have enough chemical exfoliants to do anything but is it fine because you're exposed to them for longer? Also, I'm assuming the frequency is similar, ie using the toner a couple times a week? Apologies for so many questions.
