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!

A high amount of carbomer can cause pilling or balling up of products. Don't worry, most products contain 1% or less of carbomer.

This claimed to be non-comedogenic on the packaging but it clogged my pores I’ve now got whiteheads on my forehead which. Weren’t there before starting to use the product.
feels moisturising when I put it on and for the first few hours. But that feeling doesn't seem to last. I almost want to reapply it mid day so my skin is hydrated.
