Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Dimethicone is a type of synthetic silicone created from natural materials such as quartz.
What it does:
Dimethicone comes in different viscosities:
Depending on the viscosity, dimethicone has different properties.
Ingredients lists don't always show which type is used, so we recommend reaching out to the brand if you have questions about the viscosity.
This ingredient is unlikely to cause irritation because it does not get absorbed into skin. However, people with silicone allergies should be careful about using this ingredient.
Note: Dimethicone may contribute to pilling. This is because it is not oil or water soluble, so pilling may occur when layered with products. When mixed with heavy oils in a formula, the outcome is also quite greasy.

Like hyaluronic acid, it is great at holding water and acts as a humectant. This makes it a great skin hydrating ingredient.
Sodium Hyaluronate is naturally occurring in our bodies and is mostly found in eye fluid and joints.
These are some other common types of Hyaluronic Acid:

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!

I love this sooooo much, best moisturizer I’ve ever used, I know its a sleeping mask but i use it as a daily moisturizer and my skin is glowing, i have combo sensitive skin that is prone to fungal acne so most moisturizers either don’t moisturize enough or make me feel oily, or irritate my skin and if they don’t, they feel like they set on top of my skin and feel tacky or give me fungal acne , so Show more
Feels heavy on skin. Feels like a layer of thick moisturiser is sitting on my face.
Sticky. Makes my T zone more oily (I’ve combination skin).
If not applied at night time, one feels like the dust particles from environment are stuck to the face.
Waste of money.
