Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!
Learn more about WaterPhenoxyethanol is a preservative that has germicide, antimicrobial, and aromatic properties. Studies show that phenoxyethanol can prevent microbial growth. By itself, it has a scent that is similar to that of a rose.
It's often used in formulations along with Caprylyl Glycol to preserve the shelf life of products.

LITERALLY MAGIC IN A BOTTLE! if you have acne that won’t seem to budge especially on the chin please get this!
Great addition to my night routine, for cystic acne, healing acne spots, closed comedones, and white heads! It goes well with my azelaic acid + tretinoin treatment with zero negative interaction. I do recommend allowing your wet products sink in about 15-20 mins before applying, when I didn't wait it kinda burned a little. I apply everything else plus my moisturizer before waiting and applying Show more
