Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

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!

Buffering, Masking

Citric Acid is an AHA derived from citrus fruits (think oranges, lemons, and limes!).

As an AHA, Citric Acid removes the top layer of skin cells from the newer layer of skin underneath. This helps skin to remove dark spots and even out skin tone.

If you spot Citric Acid near the end of an ingredient list, it's likely there as a pH adjuster rather than an active ingredient.

It is really good when used regularly. and also not to be used alone. You really have to be sure to have a nice routine after that is calming and soothing. It really made my skin smooth and just evened out my complexion. I wish it wasn’t so expensive. If your face feels like it needs a hard reset I’d recommend it. It burns a bit and you will break out the first few days (I think that’s called Show more

I was interested in trying this set of toner pads after enjoying the ones from Mediheal so much, although they performed very similarly in regards to exfoliation and improving my texture there were some elements that made me not favor this product as much. I did the same DIY sheet mask approach where I leave the toner pads on my face for 15 min twice a week. I actually enjoyed the slight tingling Show more

It actually works really good, but the scent is strong and kind of annoying. I use it 2 times a week and I did see improvement with my skin texture
