Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

1
What it does: Skin Conditioning, Solvent
Community Rating: Loved

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. Talk about multi-purpose! If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

What it does: Humectant, Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting, Solvent
Community Rating: Loved

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.

I love this so much! I have sensitive, dry skin (and I'm allergic to limonene and linalool), and this hydrates my face really well. I use it in combination with the water essence and my skin feels nice and plump after it. In intense situations (very cold or very hot weather), I feel I need to apply it more than once in the day, but I do have VERY dry skin.

Very hydrating and mildly plumping. Sinks in well, doesn't sit for long.

This cream integrated my morning and night routine for the past 2 months, producing visible changes. The application is a very pleasant experience as the texture is very light and fluid and absorbs quickly, not leaving any residue. The skin feels and looks more hydrated and healthy. Inflamed spots/white spots seemed to appear less frequently while using this moisturizer. It seems to have a light fragrance although this is a fragrance-free product. One pump seems to be enough for the face but two pumps are required to cover face+neck area.

Conclusions: It's a keeper! :)

Note: This was my experience applying the product during autumn/winter time, in a place where temperatures ranged from 20ºC to -2ºC degrees and humidity were variable from periods of low to very high humidity.
