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!

TL;DR: Gentle micellar water with very lipid-nourishing ingredients for your skin barrier. Affordable. Non-stripping.
Note: The toner sibling of this product doesn't play well with a lot of people's skin, but please don't let this deter your from trying this; it's really, really good!
I found this on Skinsort after trying to find something with similar ingredients to my beloved Preparation Show more
I use this instead of an oil cleanser for my first cleansing step since this doesn't break me out. It has a nice slippery texture that helps with removing spf, sebum, etc, but it doesn't leave any residue when I rinse it off.

I do not really enjoy using this product; I occasionally use it, but only when washing my face in the shower. The oil does a good job of removing make-up, mascara, and sunscreen, but I did find that it requires a thorough follow-up with a foaming cleanser to completely remove any residue left behind (the reason I do not enjoy using this). I did not experience any breakouts or irritation.
A cleansing oil that did not trigger my acne-prone skin. Leaves the skin smooth and soothed afterwards.
