Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Cleansing Oil
Source: Votary
This product does not seem to contain cleansing agents and might not be able to remove dirt and oil efficiently.
Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Nourishing apricot and jojoba oil are the most effective natural cleansers we know. They work to whisk away dirt, environmental toxins and make-up, leaving your skin beautifully clean, gently exfoliated, and fresh.
Source: Votary
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.
