Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:
Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.
Though this ingredient works well with most skin types, some people with sensitive skin may experience a reaction such as allergic rashes, closed comedones, or itchiness.
Learn more about Butylene GlycolThis ingredient is an emollient, solvent, and texture enhancer. It is considered a skin-softener by helping the skin prevent moisture loss.
It helps thicken a product's formula and makes it easier to spread by dissolving clumping compounds.
Caprylic Triglyceride is made by combining glycerin with coconut oil, forming a clear liquid.
While there is an assumption Caprylic Triglyceride can clog pores due to it being derived from coconut oil, there is no research supporting this.
Learn more about Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride1,2-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
Behenyl Alcohol is a type of fatty alcohol (these are different from the drying, solvent alcohols).
Fatty Alcohols have hydrating properties and are most often used as an emollient or to thicken a product. They are usually derived from natural fats and oils; behenyl alcohol is derived from the fats of vegetable oils.
Emollients help keep your skin soft and hydrated by creating a film that traps moisture in.
In 2000, Behenyl Alcohol was approved by the US as medicine to reduce the duration of cold sores.

A really good moisturizer for combination skin. But because I have clog prone skin, I got clogged pores from this. And although it is a really nice innovation of seperating the cream and gel, they often mix, so it's really hard to use the cream effectively, especially when travelling. Overall, I would reccomend this moisturizer for people with combination skin who doesn't suffer with any closed Show more
packaging is honestly uncomfortable. it made my forehead oily again and i got some pimples. but it’s SO hydrating

I disagree with a couple reviewers here: this is more hydrating than other FA-safe moisturizers. My skin was having irritation breakouts and this calmed my skin right away and I wake up glowier and balanced.
it is really simple
the cream is thick, there is no dominant fragrance, once you apply it to your face the cream melts, really smooth and easy to apply. It's a bit sticky at first but after a few minutes after it sinks in and dries, it gives healthy glow to my face. I'm really happy to find this cream because it's really hard for me to find a suitable moisturizer. plus, this cream is fungal acne Show more
