Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
This ingredient is an emollient, solvent, and texture enhancer. It is considered a skin-softener by helping the skin prevent moisture loss.
It helps thicken a product's formula and makes it easier to spread by dissolving clumping compounds.
Caprylic Triglyceride is made by combining glycerin with coconut oil, forming a clear liquid.
While there is an assumption Caprylic Triglyceride can clog pores due to it being derived from coconut oil, there is no research supporting this.

The first two ingredients are extremely comedogenic. In my opinion, Glow Recipe is another one of those brands that invests way more in their marketing than actual products. I've had nothing but bad experiences with their products.

Man I love this Anua oil cleanser, it literally pulls out the gunk of sebaceous filaments, bacteria and dead skin cells from my face when I rub it in for 10 minutes. DO NOT EVER USE THIS AND NOT FOLLOW UP WITH A WATER CLEANSER AFTERWARDS. People always complain this makes them break out but are not double cleansing however I do naturally have oily skin so it’s a match made in heaven but just be Show more
I want to like this because I love the toner but it’s just too harsh on my skin (sensative + excema) it was pulling out lots but not the filaments on my nose, and I’m now trying to recover from a very upset and bumpy face. Just not for me
