What is the basic purpose of a cold cream?

  1. Cleanse the skin

  2. Moisturize the skin

  3. Protect the skin from the sun

  4. Treat acne

The correct answer is: Cleanse the skin

Cold creams are primarily used to cleanse the skin. While moisturizing the skin (option B) may be a secondary effect of using a cold cream, it is not the main purpose. Additionally, cold creams do not contain ingredients that provide sun protection (option C) or treat acne (option D). Their main function is to remove dirt, oil, and makeup from the skin, making them an effective cleansing agent. In contrast, moisturizers, sunscreens, and acne treatments are specifically formulated for those purposes. Therefore, the basic purpose of a cold cream is to cleanse the skin, making option A the correct answer.
