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.

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!

Yeah, overall pretty good.
It lathers nicely and cleanses the skin without drying it out.

It has a strong but pleasant smell.

The texture is lighter than the similar Matcha B.LAB cleanser, but still has a very pleasant feel.

Recommend to any type of skin tbh.
I have combination, sensitive, acne prone skin, currently live in dry climate

Round Around's Comfort Green Tea Moisture Sunscreen was a pleasant surprise after buying it at Olive Young in Korea. I didn’t know the sunscreen or brand before, and I honestly bought it because of the 1+1 (buy one get one free) deal (like so many of my Korea purchases 🙈). And I must say, I discovered so many wonderful sunscreens there that I currently don’t have a favorite. I use them according Show more
