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!

Abrasive, Absorbent

Silica is a mineral naturally found in our skin. It helps to thicken and smooth the texture of a product. It also acts as an agent for other ingredients by increasing the absorption of other ingredients into the skin.

This product is pretty much the same in terms of texture and performance, although the tint doesn't work amazing. During the first hour it has a good coverage that blurs out most of my dark spots, but after Show more

This is impossible to blend in! Streaks remain after trying to rub it in for way too long, and it's SO tinted that it's really noticeable. This is the worst skincare product I ever bought to date.
