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!

I was very skeptical about this product but once I tried this, my eczema on my forehead significantly reduced. Acne-prone and sensitive skin will EAT this up.

I’m serious when I say if you don’t use any k skincare.. you HAVE to try this one. It’s an all in one product and targets many concerns and issues in one go. At least for me. I have rosacea and very dry, sensitive skin and this soothes my skin like no other!! It reduces redness.. helped to get rid of my acne. hydrates my skin and makes my skin tone even in better texture.

I’ve been using this on and off for about 2 years now to help with my sensitive, acne prone skin. Not only does it help heal my skin barrier, it reinforces it, calms down my redness, and helps to heal my breakouts faster. I’ve already gone through 3 bottles. All you need is a couple of drops a day, or even to mix it with your moisturizer, and you’re good!
