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!

This is HORRIBLE, soooo bad. Broke me out so bad. It is mega comedogenic. The ingredients are literally known to cause acne.

My holy grail drug store face wash. The formulation is perfect for my needs, whether I’m doing a final cleanse removing high glam makeup or nursing a severe dermatitis flare up, I have something I can always rely on. This next part is just a hot take, but I don’t understand the ugly clinical graphic design, as though having skin issues means you only want to have skincare that is packaged like Show more

NOT for beginners( -- when i first started skincare, i had oily skin and frequent breakouts,
I remember using this cleanser daily and it tore apart my skin barrier so bad where i couldn't touch my face...
(there was excessive peeling on my face bc of this so I couldn't tell if my skin had changed)

MORAL OF THE STORY START ON LOW CONCENTRATIONS& SLOWLY INTRODUCE ACTIVES TO UR ROUTINE ;crying;

Hasn't done anything for my acne or improved skin texture. Needs a metric ton of water on face or on hands to foam up properly otherwise is a sticky, thick and spotty mess on your face that can’t be lathered. Probably works fine to cleanse excess oil off face but doesn’t do anything apart from that
