Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Tocopherol (also known as Vitamin E) is a common antioxidant used to help protect the skin from free-radicals and strengthen the skin barrier. It's also fat soluble - this means our skin is great at absorbing it.
Vitamin E also helps keep your natural skin lipids healthy. Your lipid skin barrier naturally consists of lipids, ceramides, and fatty acids. Vitamin E offers extra protection for your skinβs lipid barrier, keeping your skin healthy and nourished.
Another benefit is a bit of UV protection. Vitamin E helps reduce the damage caused by UVB rays. (It should not replace your sunscreen). Combining it with Vitamin C can decrease sunburned cells and hyperpigmentation after UV exposure.
You might have noticed Vitamin E + C often paired together. This is because it is great at stabilizing Vitamin C. Using the two together helps increase the effectiveness of both ingredients.
There are often claims that Vitamin E can reduce/prevent scarring, but these claims haven't been confirmed by scientific research.

Ceramides are intercellular lipids naturally found in our skin that bonds dead skin cells together to create a barrier. They are known for their ability to hold water and thus are a great ingredient for dry skin.
Ceramides are an important building block for our skin barrier. A stronger barrier helps the skin look more firm and hydrated. By bolstering the skin ceramides act as a barrier against irritating ingredients. This can help with inflammation as well.
If you would like to eat ceramides, sweet potatoes contain a small amount.

This has easily been one of my favorite oil cleansers I've tried. I have combination skin and it really helps balance out the oil and dryness on my face. It goes on so smooth and leaves my face so soft and shiny.
Back when I ran out and wasn't sure if it was making a difference, I just used my normal Nacific products for about a week and I noticed a HUGE difference. Oil zones started to come Show more
This is the only oil cleanser/makeup remover I've used that doesn't sting my eyes, or blur my vision when I'm removing my makeup. I've probably gone through 4 bottles of this already. The best!

Donβt get this omg. This was the FIRST skincare product iβve ever used, I used it the night before my first homecoming,ππ It broke me out so bad especially on my forehead, which I now know was fungal acne. Since then I have never been able to get rid of my fungal acne (help.) So basically I went to my first hs hoco with a bumpy forehead (still bumpy.) π₯²
Genuinely picked whatever was chapest from CVS. I was considering using cleansing oil but if I remember correctly, this one was cheaper. Also, I felt like I could use this for longer. Another thing is that I saw influencers using cleansing balms and thought that was cool. (I am easily influenced)
Anyways started using this and I didn't really know how to use cleanser balms or oils. I thought Show more
