These ingredients are found in both products.

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!

Unless I have dry skin, I don’t think ill ever like this. It has such strong fragrance for a mist product, it makes face glowy but just makes my skin greasy so fast. I have combi acne prone sensitive skin and this just sometimes irritates my skin. I live in a tropical country too so this just made it worse. Idk abt people saying this also works as setting spray cuz it will just melt everything Show more

makes my skin look so glowy I love it! I particularly love the scent too because it reminds me of my mother's cosmetics and perfumes when I was a child. if you're sensitive to fragrance or prefers fragrance-free products however, this isn't for you
