Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Humectant, Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting

Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

Preservative

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.

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!

I’ve been using this product for over a month now. My acne prone skin is noticeably clearer, far less red and the hormonal breakouts that I do have are substantially smaller and less inflamed. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to clear stubborn acne, it’s one of the only products that has made a noticeable difference to my skin.

It can have a drying effect and does tingle the Show more

It might be a bit early to give a good review, but I’ve been using this for a week now and I’m shocked at how well it’s working for me! I have Rosacea (Papulopustular/Acne) and EXTREMELY reactive/sensitive skin. I’m basically semi allergic to every single product on earth and literally CANNOT wear sunscreen or 99.9% of moisturisers.

I tried finacea (prescription azelaic acid) and within 2 days Show more

Skin type: Combi Acne Prone

I like this booster but not adore it. It can be combined with almost anything and does the job alright. It contains Matrixyl 3000 which is nice and has a compact ingredient list. However, in general I would choose The Ordinary Buffet over this one since it works better IMO.
