Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:
- It is a solvent, meaning that it helps to dissolve other ingredients. This also enhances the absorption of the product into one's skin.
- It is a humectant, which means that it helps attract moisture into the skin.
- It helps improve product application.
- It has mild preservative properties.
Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.
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.

Sodium Hyaluronate is hyaluronic acid's salt form. It is commonly derived from the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid.
Like hyaluronic acid, it is great at holding water and acts as a humectant. This makes it a great skin hydrating ingredient.
Sodium Hyaluronate is naturally occurring in our bodies and is mostly found in eye fluid and joints.
These are some other common types of Hyaluronic Acid:

COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Hydra Power Essence 7 ingredients
Good lightweight Essence, leaves the skin feeling plump and hydrated but sometimes it only makes my skin feeling dry so i have yo double add avene cream which provides more glow than this.
It does nothing but hydrates, affordable for the size but I won’t buy it again as i believe there are better HA serums/essences
Essence that feels like moisturizer.
This product does nothing but smoothing effect on my skin. No breakout or irritation.

It's not for me...
Maybe this mask would suit someone with oily skin better? For me, I just didn’t notice any difference in my skin when I used this. I definitely was expecting a hydration boost but all I really experienced was a having a green gel on my face for 10 minutes. My skin felt pretty much the same after washing this off. I guess it’s cooling, but that’s really all it has going for it. Show more
