Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

What it does: Skin Conditioning, Solvent
Community Rating: Loved

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. Talk about multi-purpose! If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Community Rating: Disliked

Xanthan gum is used as a stabilizer and thickener within cosmetic products. It helps give products a sticky, thick feeling - preventing them from being too runny.

On the technical side of things, xanthan gum is a polysaccharide - a combination consisting of multiple sugar molecules bonded together.

Xanthan gum is a pretty common and great ingredient. It is a natural, non-toxic, non-irritating ingredient that is also commonly used in food products.

A stronger, and slightly cheaper, alternative to finacea. After some troubleshooting, I found the best way to use this product is to apply immediately after cleansing and drying, waiting for it to dry completely, then focussing on moisturising for the rest of my routine. This is due to AA’s drying potential mixed in with kaolin and alumina (it is seriously mattifying).

I will update this review as I’ve only used it for 3 weeks, but my acute major breakouts have definitely calmed down.
