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!

Easily one of my favourite cleansers! Skin doesn’t feel tight and uneasy after patting the face dry. Used this during one of my worst rosacea flare ups, and it worked great.

I have acne-prone sensitive combination skin, which can be hard to clean as some products leave my skin feeling too dry or not cleaning well enough. This foam is gentle and I feel it really cleans up my skin while not leaving it dry.
I used this during a rosacea flare up and it helped a lot! I recommend this one also during the winter for combination skin since its really gentle with the skin.

Amazing cleanser for sensitive skin! Skin doesn't feel dry after and almost feels moisturized with this cleanser. Not very tough on removing makeup so I do recommend using micellar water / makeup remover before since this product is so gentle. But I am soo happy with this product it's I think the first cleanser that does 0 irritation for me
