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!
Learn more about WaterAloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice comes from leaves of the aloe plant. Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice is best known for helping to soothe sunburns. It is also anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, antiseptic, and can help heal wounds.
Aloe is packed with good stuff including Vitamins A, C, and E. These vitamins are antioxidants, which help fight free-radicals and the damage they may cause. Free-radicals are molecules that may damage your skin cells, such as pollution.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice also contains sugars. These sugars come in the form of monosaccharides and polysaccharides, folic acid, and choline. These sugars are able to help bind moisture to skin.
It also contains minerals such as calcium, 12 anthraquinones, fatty acids, amino acids, and Vitamin B12.

In skincare, sucrose is a humectant and can be a mild exfoliant.
Sucrose is hydrophilic, meaning it attracts water. This makes it an effective humectant and helps hydrate the skin.
Studies show sugars may worsen acne-prone skin due to it disrupting the skin's natural biome. We recommend speaking with a professional if you have any concerns.
In some products such as body scrubs, sucrose is used as an gentle exfoliant.
The term 'sucrose' comes from the french word for sugar, 'sucre'.

It's often used in formulations along with Caprylyl Glycol to preserve the shelf life of products.

Stung my eyes (and I didn't put any in my eyes😔)
Dries the skin, feels like it strips oils from face and that gives clean feeling without properly cleansing. Has a strong fake chemical scent.
I have oily skin and works decently but it’s not my favourite product to use.

used to love this cleanser
I swore by this cleanser as someone with super sensitive skin, but after almost 2 years of using it, I'm not sure if it stopped working or the formula was changed but I had to stop using this. It's definitely amazing for drier skin types, it almost doesn't foam or lather at all, but thats part of why I stopped using it. Doesn't really take off makeup well. Very Show more
first product that has ever made me have a fungal acne breakout :( barely took off any makeup as well
