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 WaterPhenoxyethanol is a preservative that has germicide, antimicrobial, and aromatic properties. Studies show that phenoxyethanol can prevent microbial growth. By itself, it has a scent that is similar to that of a rose.
It's often used in formulations along with Caprylyl Glycol to preserve the shelf life of products.

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.

Good 2nd cleanser, but rubbish first cleanse. Doesn't remove makeup or SPF as claimed
