Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
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.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

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.

Beautiful cleanser that doesn’t break me out 😭😭❤️ Before this I used the Anua Querecetinol Cleanser and man was that the worst decision ever.
My main cleanser before this was Nixoderm Sulphur Soap Bar (another beauty, saved my skin) but I found that using the bar soap everyday isn’t ideal, since it was essentially an exfoliant. So I needed a cleanser and this came up so I tried it and it’s Show more

Great cleanser for skincare newbies. Definitely gentle on the skin and lessens my breakouts. There is a faint weird smell and it doesn't lather as much, but I am ok with it.
I have a combination skin type (oily t-zone, normal for the rest).
I use this cleanser once nightly. It has a mild medicinal-like scent typically found in ointment balms albularyos (witch doctors) tend to use. 1 pump from this bottle is enough to cover my whole face.
