Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
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.

Cure Aqua Gel Exfoliator 10 ingredients
i don’t really know if it’s good for oily skin or not i haven’t seen a change and the app says it’s a bad match for me
HOWEVER it’s a very gentle cleanser which leaves the skin feeling so smooth
i have used it even when my skin barrier was really damaged and it didn’t make it worse at all so it says it’s a irritating exfoliator which i do not agree with, it doesn’t leave my skin red when almost Show more

favorite peeling gel i’ve tried so far
this is my favorite peeling gel i’ve tried, even above the beauty of joseon one. it doesn’t seem to remove a ridiculous (unrealistic) amount of dead skin like the dr g one.
