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 WaterCetyl Alcohol is a fatty alcohol. Fatty Alcohols are most often used as an emollient or to thicken a product.
Its main roles are:
Though it has "alcohol" in the name, it is not related to denatured alcohol or ethyl alcohol. The FDA allows products labeled "alcohol-free" to have fatty alcohols.
Learn more about Cetyl AlcoholDimethicone is a type of synthetic silicone created from natural materials such as quartz.
What it does:
Dimethicone comes in different viscosities:
Depending on the viscosity, dimethicone has different properties.
Ingredients lists don't always show which type is used, so we recommend reaching out to the brand if you have questions about the viscosity.
This ingredient is unlikely to cause irritation because it does not get absorbed into skin. However, people with silicone allergies should be careful about using this ingredient.
Note: Dimethicone may contribute to pilling. This is because it is not oil or water soluble, so pilling may occur when layered with products. When mixed with heavy oils in a formula, the outcome is also quite greasy.

Product review:
It gives me small whiteheads in summer but works great in winter. in winter it doesn't give whiteheads. I wash my face and apply this, my skin is all set. It's moisturizing and hydrating and also soothing for eczema too. it doesn't irritate it.
My skin:
Eczmea on the forehead, fungal acne, milia, hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and normal to combination skin.

After my triplets were born, skincare fell by the wayside. I bought this for them but ended up using it as a head-to-toe moisturizer on myself for the first few months as my sole skincare. It's nice, not greasy, has some niacinamide, and just feels good on the skin. It's a little heavy to layer on top of all my serums etc. so I don't use it on my face anymore. The extreme minimalist could use it Show more
wayy better than any other korean moisturizer gel I have. It’s so hydrated, lightweight on my skin. Reduce my skin oil. So far no issues. really like how fast it’s absorbed in my skin 🔥
