Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

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!

I put this in a small spritzer bottle and spray my face, neck and dΓ©colletΓ© nightly and then gently wipe with a soft cotton pad as my first cleanser. It removes sweat, dirt, makeup. I follow with a second gentle cleanser and it leaves my skin perfectly prepped for my skin care routine.

In the morning I will sometimes follow the same spray and wipe routine, but followed only by a rinse of water Show more

It gets rid off makeup effectively and does trigger FA or clog my pores. It's not main Cleanser, but it's my favorite to remove makeup.

Takes off waterproof mascara
It takes off waterproof mascara perfectly but I'm sad to find out its not cruelty-free (or vegan for that matter)
