Cleansing
What does the product description say?
What it is: A transforming oil cleanser that melts away waterproof makeup and other impurities, leaving the skin soft, moisturized, and feeling hydrated.
Source: Sephora CA
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (caprylyl/capryl glucoside, cocamidopropyl betaine, disodium cocoamphodiacetate, isostearic acid, peg-200 hydrogenated glyceryl palmate, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate) 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.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate

Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Gently exfoliates skin and purifies pores
Source: Lila Beauty
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.
