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!

This product is so underrated. It has a lot of the standard moisturizer ingredients along with a few standout stuff like caffeine, allantoin, and panthenol. It's economical and pretty hydrating although less hydrating than the lrp double repair. It's not the most lightweight, but I do appreciate the dispenser

I struggled with acne for years until I started using tretinoin. I have used it since I was 15 and since then my skin hasn’t broken out in the typical cystic acne patterns since.
