Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Ekos Andiroba Triple Phase Shower Oil
Source: Lookfantastic US
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin.
Keep in mind that cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
Helps create a more spreadable product texture
Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Natural Sugar and Andiroba Seeds: A natural exfoliator that gently but thoroughly refines, stimulates and renews the skin.
Source: Lookfantastic US
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.
