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!

Buffering, Masking

Citric Acid is an AHA derived from citrus fruits (think oranges, lemons, and limes!).

As an AHA, Citric Acid removes the top layer of skin cells from the newer layer of skin underneath. This helps skin to remove dark spots and even out skin tone.

If you spot Citric Acid near the end of an ingredient list, it's likely there as a pH adjuster rather than an active ingredient.

This is my least favorite moisturizer, and the only one I truly hated. I love a thick cream, but this is just greasy and unpleasant. Smells bad too. Don’t get the hype (is there really hype or just marketing?)

Thick and luxurious, however it does have a bit of a weird smell, almost like play-doh. Skin feels incredibly soft in the morning and it isn’t sticky.

For my girlies who pick their skin - this is a life saver. Very good for spot-treating breakouts at night since its antibacterial, heals the breakout and visibly decreases redness on a blemish.

Put it on top of a blemish at night and in the morning the blemish will look so much better.
