Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.

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.

No
I thought it was good for my skin since the ingredients have Niacinamide, but when i tried on it my skin the feeling is Silky and i was saying to myself that it's ok but in the morning I had a breakout like a small cyst then after a few days many are coming out on my skin face. The analysis of this website is really amazing. It's not Malassezia Safe, which tells me it's bad for the skin.
(Dry, dehydrated, aging, sensitive, rosacea. Climate with moderate humidity) I like this sunscreen. It has a pleasant consistency of a nourishing lotion, dries down within 10 min, and I quickly forget I’m wearing it. I work outdoor events frequently, and find this is good protection. I haven’t noticed any breakouts or irritation from it (unless I forget to wash it off at night).
