Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
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!
Learn more about WaterCitric Acid is an AHA derived from citrus fruits (think oranges, lemons, and limes!).
As an AHA, Citric Acid removes the top layer of skin cells from the newer layer of skin underneath. This helps skin to remove dark spots and even out skin tone.
If you spot Citric Acid near the end of an ingredient list, it's likely there as a pH adjuster rather than an active ingredient.

Balea Med Ultra Sensitive Waschgel 10 ingredients
This cleanser consistently caused excessive dryness and tightness whenever I used it. If you have dry and sensitive skin, I recommend exercising caution.
Great for the price. It is fungal acne safe but for my oily skin it is a bit too dry. I love the texture!

nice texture, non-irritating, doesn't work for my rosacea skin, very drying, stripping, works well as body shaving gel now
I have combi-sensitive skin, which is oily on my forehead and cheekbones but dry in other areas. This cleanser broke me out after 2 days of using it.
Also, it completely dried my cheeks.
