Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

1
What it does: Humectant, Masking, Skin Conditioning, Solvent
Community Rating: Mixed

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.

Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient. It is unlikely to irritate skin, and works well with pretty much all other ingredients.

COSRX One Step Original Clear Pad contains this as ingredient number 2.

Anua Heartleaf 77% Clear Pad contains this as ingredient number 6.

2
What it does: Skin Conditioning, Solvent
Community Rating: Mixed

1,2-Hexanediol is a multi-tasker ingredient. It acts as a preservative to increase shelf-life and can aid other preservatives in preventing microbe growth. 1,2-Hexanediol also helps the skin retain moisture as a humectant.

In products that are water-based, this ingredient can help stabilize perfumes and fragrances. It can also help make the texture of products softer and more smooth.

COSRX One Step Original Clear Pad contains this as ingredient number 5.

Anua Heartleaf 77% Clear Pad contains this as ingredient number 7.

It has really saved my skin from so many problems! I bought it because of all the good reviews and it did not disappoint! After a month and a half of using it (I use it every night) I have noticed the following changes:

I no longer have those massive breakouts. Only one or two spots when I'm about to have my period.

My skin is much smoother.

The bumps on my chin have disappeared.

I no longer have clogged pores

It has regulated my oil production (my skin is not so oily anymore. Yay :))

I hope it helped you ;)
