Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Pore Cleansing Oil
Source: From product name
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (polyglyceryl-5 dioleate, polyglyceryl-6 caprylate) 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.
Helps oil and water mix together
Used mostly for creating emulsions - helping oil and water mix together. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
Anti-blemish
What does the product description say?
Designed to gently pamper whilst actively clearing, the serum-like texture helps absorb excess sebum, deep-cleaning and loosening the pores, whilst removing clogging dirt and cosmetics.
