Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

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!

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

1,2-Hexanediol is a synthetic liquid and another multi-functional powerhouse. 

It is a:

  • Humectant, drawing moisture into the skin
  • Emollient, helping to soften skin
  • Solvent, dispersing and stabilizing formulas
  • Preservative booster, enhancing the antimicrobial activity of other preservatives 
Skin Conditioning

Panthenol is a common ingredient that helps hydrate and soothe the skin. It is found naturally in our skin and hair.

There are two forms of panthenol: D and L.

D-panthenol is also known as dexpanthenol. Most cosmetics use dexpanthenol or a mixture of D and L-panthenol.

Panthenol is famous due to its ability to go deeper into the skin's layers. Using this ingredient has numerous pros (and no cons):

Like hyaluronic acid, panthenol is a humectant. Humectants are able to bind and hold large amounts of water to keep skin hydrated.

This ingredient works well for wound healing. It works by increasing tissue in the wound and helps close open wounds.

Once oxidized, panthenol converts to pantothenic acid. Panthothenic acid is found in all living cells.

This ingredient is also referred to as pro-vitamin B5.

TL;DR: Safe for sensitive and acne-prone skin. Expensive, but lasts me a long time. Doesn't pill.

I tried the moisturizer first, then bought this, and I think I like this more. I use this on rotation with my prescription actives, and it doesn't seem to irritate my skin. It also didn't break me out, which is amazing, and goes on smooth. It doesn't pill with my other products, and I've had this Show more

When I bought their moisturizer (which became my HG), it came with a sample of this. I used it up and immediately liked it enough to invest in a full size (invest bc this brand isn't cheap:/). I'm suprised both their products are THIS good, whoever formulates this is a genius.

This doesn't break me out, clog my pores, irritate me, nothing. It's FA safe. It hydrates my skin and makes it GLOWY. Show more

I haven't used this product for a long time, so I'll update my review if I notice any changes. But so far, I LOVE this moisturizer! I have a combo dehydrated acne/FA prone skin, and this leaves my skin feeling so so smooth, For me personally this doesn't feel sticky at all. On the contrary, absorbs really fast unlike other gel moisturizers that just sit on top. On my skin it leave a matte finish. Show more

it doesn’t clog my pores and i’m VERY clogged prone (if that’s even a thing) anyway i have oily skin and this is good for every season BUT the winter!! it’s not hydrating enough i have to pair with with a toner and to be honest it also makes my skin look dull and dry in the winter!! so by itself in the winter i rate it 2.5/5 but paired with a toner i rate it 5/5! very lightweight and i love how it Show more
