Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Phenoxyethanol is a preservative that has germicide, antimicrobial, and aromatic properties. Studies show that phenoxyethanol can prevent microbial growth. By itself, it has a scent that is similar to that of a rose.
It's often used in formulations along with Caprylyl Glycol to preserve the shelf life of products.
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!

Solid benzoyl peroxide product with good ingredients and at a great price. I had some issues with irritation with this, but I'm fairly certain it's because I'm sensitive to benzoyl peroxide so I don't blame this product.
LOVE this stuff! You get 8 oz for $20! I wanted to get the Malezia brand since the ingredients are more gentle but this is a steal. I apply moisturizer first then apply this BP. I have really sensitive skin and this works so well for me. It's a simple gel and sinks in with a skin-like finish and it doesn't interact with my other products. The price with the amount you get is on point. It also Show more
