Cleansing
What does the product description say?
The luxurious gel transforms into a silky milk and its micro-sphere exfoliation system deflakes and removes dirt and excess oil, without damaging skin cells.

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (hydrogenated castor oil, sucrose laurate) 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.
A plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency
Helps oil and water mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent
Exfoliation

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.
