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!

Humectant, Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting

Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

Update: After battling a very painful cystic acne flare and these helping clear it within two days to attend a wedding with mostly happy-looking skin, this has been upgraded to holy grail status! 🏆

TL;DR: VERY effective, VERY affordable. Use only as needed if you have sensitive skin.

First off, you can find these in most US drug stores, making them very affordable and available, but most of Show more

I’ve been using this product for maybe two or three weeks now and I’ve been loving it. It’s not a miracle worker but I use it at night only. I sometimes realize that it calms down my redness. I feel like sometimes my closed commodores look smaller the next day but it does come back, maybe because I haven’t found my skincare routine yet.
