Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Super Melting Sebum Cleansing Oil
Source: Lila Beauty
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (peg-10 isostearate, peg-20 glyceryl triisostearate) 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
Anti-blemish
What does the product description say?
Its watery oil transforms into a milky texture, deeply cleansing while hydrating for smooth, balanced, blackhead-free skin.
