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!

This moisturizer is okay. It is hydrating enough as a morning moisturizer in the spring/fall, but I would not reach for this in the winter time. It sometimes does create a white cast as you are applying it to your face -- it will require some additional tapping/rubbing into skin.

Edit: I also just saw this as a dupe for the Glow Recipe Cloudberry Moisture Cream which I’ve come to love, and I would in no way consider the feel or results of the Glow Recipe to be similar to this moisturizer.

This product for me was just ok. I bought it as a recommendation for oily skin; and I will say it is an ok option for oil skin. My issue with this moisturizer is that I felt it didn’t Show more

Gotta give credit where credit is due
WOW… lot of people ganging up on this incredibly affordable/popular serum. I understand the criticisms, but personally I don’t believe the intensity is warranted.

I've repurchased this so many times and tried different niacinamide serums but this one is my fav. It improves my hormonal acne so much and controls sebum production. Also, when I had the worst fungal acne flare-up ever, this and the lactic acid 5% SAVED ME. It burned a lot but now I don't have any bumps whatsoever. It won't work immediately so consistency is key. (I have combo-oily skin)
