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 WaterSodium Hydroxide is also known as lye or caustic soda. It is used to adjust the pH of products; many ingredients require a specific pH to be effective.
In small amounts, sodium hydroxide is considered safe to use. However, large amounts may cause chemical burns due to its high alkaline.
Your skin has a natural pH and acid mantle. This acid mantle helps prevent harmful bacteria from breaking through. The acid mantle also helps keep your skin hydrated.
"Alkaline" refers to a high pH level. A low pH level would be considered acidic.

This is a great lil pen to have in my purse if I need to treat a pimple I didn’t notice before leaving the house or when I’m traveling. I wish the pen was a little smaller so it’s more stealthy in my bag.
It’s okay, it leave like this weird peel on my skin, like a liquid pimple patch, I can’t really tell if it ever brought down my acne or not

Love! Buuuut…
I love this product!!! Matched with some pimple patches and it’s like my pimples were never there! But it can leave a while residue on your face so I recommend using it before bed.
It dries out and gets rid of my acne but be careful and only apply it to your acne in small amounts directly on the acne. I used it on a cluster I had forming and it immediately started to become irritated and stung I had to rub half of it off and put some more of my soothing skincare on that spot for it to stop hurting.
Also, be aware that its able to bleach clothes and towels so try to not Show more
