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!
Learn more about WaterPhenoxyethanol is a preservative that has germicide, antimicrobial, and aromatic properties. Studies show that phenoxyethanol can prevent microbial growth. By itself, it has a scent that is similar to that of a rose.
It's often used in formulations along with Caprylyl Glycol to preserve the shelf life of products.

CeraVe Ultra-Light Moisturizing Gel 28 ingredients
It’s nice but as a person with Tretinoin in my routine, it’s highly irritating. It makes your face spicy but helped a lot during the summer.
Tip for best experience: store it in the fridge and apply when cold. You’re welcome!
It was so oily and thick. Why.
Bayer Bepanthen Moisturizing Cream 11 ingredients
This’s the worst thing I’ve ever put on my skin, my doctor told me to put it because it’s a thick moisturizer after a cold peel, but I accidentally put it after my skin peeled and i now have the worst fungal allergy in my life, it’s not even acne it’s just that my face is swollen and there is red dry scratchy spots that feel like my skin is burning .
i used to love it but not anymore
