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!

How this broke me out? I truly don’t know. I’m almost too embarrassed to admit it, but I know others have gotten cystic acne from this so I want to share my experience in case someone is questioning if it’s just them.

I also tried La Roche Posay's thermal spring water but this one is clearly superior. It actually calms and soothes irritated and inflamed skin.

Eight patches ain’t gonna cut it.
I bought this product earlier in my skincare journey before I really knew just how hard dark spots are to tackle. After using all the patches I, of course, saw no difference.

If you want to treat dark spots so they fade quicker you have to be persistent over a long period of time. Untreated, my worst post inflammatory erythema spots can take almost a year to Show more
