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!
Learn more about WaterCarbomer is a polymer of acrylic acid. Its main role is to create a gel consistency.
A high amount of carbomer can cause pilling or balling up of products. Don't worry, most products contain 1% or less of carbomer.
Tocopherol (also known as Vitamin E) is a common antioxidant used to help protect the skin from free-radicals and strengthen the skin barrier. It's also fat soluble - this means our skin is great at absorbing it.
Vitamin E also helps keep your natural skin lipids healthy. Your lipid skin barrier naturally consists of lipids, ceramides, and fatty acids. Vitamin E offers extra protection for your skin’s lipid barrier, keeping your skin healthy and nourished.
Another benefit is a bit of UV protection. Vitamin E helps reduce the damage caused by UVB rays. (It should not replace your sunscreen). Combining it with Vitamin C can decrease sunburned cells and hyperpigmentation after UV exposure.
You might have noticed Vitamin E + C often paired together. This is because it is great at stabilizing Vitamin C. Using the two together helps increase the effectiveness of both ingredients.
There are often claims that Vitamin E can reduce/prevent scarring, but these claims haven't been confirmed by scientific research.

Some By Mi Yuja Niacin Brightening Moisture Gel Cream 47 ingredients
used this last winter. Usually I have oily skin but in winter my skin becomes a dry one. It gave me enough hydration even in the winter(I'm someone from South Asia), didn't broke out at all (I've acne prone skin, always tend to have acne and enlarge pores), has a refreshing lime fragrance so if you are not fragrance sensitive then give it a try. It's really a soothing, calming and kinda underrated Show more
It absorb quite fast on my skin, the scent wash refreshing. And the finish look after applying is quite good too, A bit like satin finish
Cons:
The gel is slippery, so it often spills down when It was placed on my finger
My skin feels dry after the application, dunno what will this do on dry skin, because of the dryness, My forehead looks textured
After all, it has significant effect Show more
