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!

This hydrates my skin very well and gives that “glass skin” look. It doesn’t feel sticky and absorbs quickly. But something in this is breaking me out, no idea which ingredient is the culprit. Gives me tiny pimples in different areas of my face each day I use it. I’m disappointed because it seems like a great product for those with sensitive acne prone skin like myself, but my skin just doesn’t Show more

It's like bottled tap water lol, it doesn't calm or soothe irritated and inflamed skin. I recommend Avène's thermal spring water instead, which is far superior than this one.

It’s just water but I was tired to exchange my spray water bottle every few days.
The spray is very fine and easy to control, especially for those who use it before hydrating products.
Avene water is interesting but I was traumatized with their products once and don’t trust their nitron water mix 😂
