Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Product name: Argan Melt-Away Makeup Removing Cleansing Oil
Source: Sephora
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (polysorbate 20, polysorbate 80) 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

Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
- Sunflower Seed, Grapeseed, and Grapefruit Seed Oil Blend: Is rich in nutrients and antioxidants known to hydrate and gently polish skin.
Source: Sephora
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.
