What is the primary function of a desincrustation solution?

  1. Liquifies sebum

  2. Neutralizes acids

  3. Moisturizes skin

  4. Cleans pores

The correct answer is: Liquifies sebum

Desincrustation solution is used to remove excess oil, dirt, and other impurities from the skin. This primary function of desincrustation solution is achieved by liquifying sebum, which is an oily substance produced by the skin. This option is correct because it describes the most important purpose of using a desincrustation solution. The other options, such as neutralizing acids, moisturizing skin, and cleaning pores, are not the primary functions of a desincrustation solution. While these may be potential benefits of using a desincrustation solution, they are not the main reason it is used. Therefore, they are incorrect options.
