Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.

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!

Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.

I swear this stuff make me literally glow! I dab it on my face with my finger tips every night and day and it leaves my skin feeling healthy and plump.

Hydrating but the fragrance broke me out after a long while, so not recommended for people with sensitive skin (rosacea).
Edit: I have since swapped to SKIN1004's 1025 Dokdo Toner.
I think it does well for hydration but sometimes the smell is a lil weird. It doesn't always smell like it, maybe I'm doing something, but it's such a weird smell and it's the only part of my routine that smells that way (when I do get a whiff of it).
