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.

Just remember to use a moisturizer in your routine to reduce the risk of any irritation ☺️ And although I'm not sure that BHA increases sun sensitivity, it's always a good idea to use SPF!
