Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Paraffinum Liquidum is also known as liquid paraffin. It is a type of highly refined mineral oil.
Like other oils, Paraffinum Liquidum has emollient properties. Emollients help soothe and soften the skin. By creating a barrier to trap moisture within, emollients help keep your skin hydrated.
Paraffinum Liquidum does not irritate the skin and is non-comedogenic.
Learn more about Paraffinum LiquidumWater. 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!

A mediocre occlusive. Does nothing that Vaseline can’t for a fraction of the cost.
Sudocrem Antiseptic Healing Cream 17 ingredients
For my girlies who pick their skin - this is a life saver. Very good for spot-treating breakouts at night since its antibacterial, heals the breakout and visibly decreases redness on a blemish.
Put it on top of a blemish at night and in the morning the blemish will look so much better.
great for acne
