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!

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.

Humectant, Masking, Skin Conditioning

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.
  • It has mild preservative properties.

Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.

I use this cleanser when travelling, as it’s available under 100ml.

It doesn’t contain any nasties for my skin, ticks all of the right boxes, and - crucially - doesn’t cause breakouts! It’s very simple and gets the job done and a reasonable price.

Drying though! Strips the skin, so I probably won’t re-buy.

meh?
nothing offensive about this cleanser, but on my combo oily skin it was incredibly average. didn't really feel like it was doing anything. feel like it would be best on normal skin as it is just... very normal. finished a bottle and didn't rebuy.

UPDATED 11 July 2024 (TL;DR below):
This cleanser comes in a simple squeeze bottle, which was convenient for when I completely finished it; There was no struggle to get the last bits out. Godsend.

The brand claims the cleanser melts makeup, clear pores, and tackles dark spots, zits, and dehydration. I can say with confidence it helped with the last two. The more frequently I cleaned my face Show more

I've been really stressed about my fungal acne, but this product has felt great after just two days of use. The gel-like cleanser and foaming action when it gets wet feel wonderful, and it doesn't strip my skin after washing. I do need to follow up with a toner, though. My routine has been dandruff shampoo, this cleanser, toner, and moisturizer, and it's been working well for me. Just a note to Show more
