Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

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

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!

This is the best retinoid on the market in my opinion. I have tried everything from retinol, to retinal, to adapalene to generic cream tret, to gel tret, to lotion tret (altreno), then lotion taz (arazlo). This gives you the fastest and best results in a short time too. Literally made my skin glow to the point that I was getting complements

It is also the most potent, and the gentlest I have Show more
