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!

Dipropylene Glycol helps dissolve and evenly distribute ingredients. It also helps decrease viscosity and thin out texture.
As a masking agent, Dipropylene Glycol can be used to cover the smell of other ingredients. However, it does not have a scent.
Studies show Dipropylene Glycol is considered safe to use in skincare.

Amazing Vitamin C serum! My skin improved almost immediately. It’s Skinceuticals so obviously it’s expensive, but I love the slightly astringent and non-greasy formula as a base for my daytime routine. As someone with a very oily T-zone, this has been really helpful.
I don’t love the pipet - you have to be careful or you might accidentally squeeze some drops out.
Makes my skin glow and prevents acne
