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!

When found in aqueous solutions, mannitol tends to become acidic. This is because it loses a hydrogen ion. This is why mannitol can often be found with pH adjusting ingredients, such as sodium bicarbonate.
Fun fact: Mannitol can be found in foods as a sweetener. It can be naturally found in mushrooms, algae, fruits, and veggies.

One of my favorite products of all time. It works amazing for oily and acne-prone skin, being super hydrating and not stripping at all, but without breaking you out. It has this very likeable buttery consistency with some blue particles that will help exfoliate your skin very softly, melting once you rub them against your skin, so It won't damage your skin barrier at all like other harsh physical exfoliants. And the best part is the smell: It really improves the afterwards feeling of cleanliness. But beware sensitive skins, because it has some fragrance.
The only thing that bothers me is the relation between the consistency and the packaging. At first you think it's great because the thickness of the product will always get you the right amount of it without making a mess like it happens when a cleanser in a packaging like this is too runny. But once you're close to finishing the bottle you will find out how difficult it is to get it out due to the hardness of the plastic. I always end up cutting the bottle and putting it on a jar myself to scoop it with a little spoon. So maybe, this kind of formula would benefit way more from a metallic container like other products with a thick consistency, kinda like the viral hand cream from L'Occitane.

I've used it for a long time but I would only recommend it if you have really oily skin, you'll have this clean feeling. I have quite sensitive skin and I found it quite stripping and left my skin dry... Better options out there for this price
