Cleansing
What does the product description say?
MakeUp-BreakUp Cool 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 (glyceryl behenate/eicosadioate, isostearic acid, peg-20 glyceryl triisostearate, polyglyceryl-10 diisostearate) 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.
Used to create a nice product texture
Helps water and oil mix together
Anti-blemish
What does the product description say?
gently removes sebum and impurities which cause blemishes and blackheads.
