Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

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

1
What it does: Humectant, Masking, Skin Conditioning, Solvent
Community Rating: Mixed

Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:

  • It is a solvent, meaning that it helps to dissolve other ingredients. This also enhances the absorption of the product into one's skin.
  • It is a humectant, which means that it helps attract moisture into the skin.
  • It helps improve product application.

Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient. It is unlikely to irritate skin, and works well with pretty much all other ingredients.

Benton Heartleaf 80 Skin Toner Pad contains this as ingredient number 2.

Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Toner : AHA + BHA contains this as ingredient number 11.

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

1,2-Hexanediol is a multi-tasker ingredient. It acts as a preservative to increase shelf-life and can aid other preservatives in preventing microbe growth. 1,2-Hexanediol also helps the skin retain moisture as a humectant.

In products that are water-based, this ingredient can help stabilize perfumes and fragrances. It can also help make the texture of products softer and more smooth.

I give this one a 3 on the basis for my own review for my skin type, not for the quality of the product overall.

BHA's are an oil-soluble exfoliation acid, and it will work wonders for people with oily skin types. Because of this, I feel this product is not good for people with dry/sensitive skin types as it contains the combined acid.

For myself with a dry/sensitive skin, it quickly made my skin react with irritation and redness. This exfoliation was too intensive for myself. I washed it off quickly and applied a soothing moisturiser and my skin calmed.

I'm sure this will be a great product for the right skin type, however my dry/sensitive friends, I recommend AHA's only as they're water soluble and less likely to dry your skin out :)
