Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Pore Face Wash
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 (lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid) 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 water and oil mix together. Has anti-bacterial properties that might be helpful in preventing blemishes
Helps oil and water mix together. Could be comedogenic
An emollient that is naturally present in skin and helps soften it
Helps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient
Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Sufficiently imbued with minerals to actively clear and cleanse, this gently enriching scrub helps to remove excess sebum and impurities, allowing skin to feel soft and naturally refreshed.

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.
