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!

Buffering, Masking

Tromethamine helps balance the pH and improve the texture of a product. It is synthetically created.

As an emulsifier, Tromethamine prevents oil and water ingredients from separating. This helps stabilize the product and elongate a product's shelf life. Tromethamine also makes a product thicker.

Tromethamine helps balance the pH level of a product. Normal pH level of skin is slightly acidic (~4.75-5.5). The acidity of our skin is maintained by our glands and skin biome. Being slightly acidic allows our skin to create an "acid mantle". This acid mantle is a thin barrier that protects our skin from bacteria and contaminants.

Oral Tromethanmine is an anti-inflammatory drug but plays the role of masking, adding fragrance, and/or balancing pH in skincare.

1,3-Propanediol, 2-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)-

Ethylhexylglycerin (we can't pronounce this either) is commonly used as a preservative and skin softener. It is derived from glyceryl.

You might see Ethylhexylglycerin often paired with other preservatives such as phenoxyethanol. Ethylhexylglycerin has been found to increase the effectiveness of these other preservatives.

It's good for humid weather
This is a simple and light moisturizer that helps hydrate my combination skin without being too oily. I haven't experienced any breakouts like the previous reviews. This will be my go-to moisturizer for hot/humid summers until I find something better!

It's so so
I have oily combination skin, I'm trying to do the minimal 3 step routine; cleanse, moisturized and sunscreen. Being using this for almost 1 month now, it's very drying when use without a toner, just after cleansing. But with a tonner it's quite okay. It doesn't cause me more break outs nor it reduce my acne breakouts. But it give calming and cooling effect. I suggest this product for Show more

I use this only on my arms and legs. Living in a hot and humid country, this gel has been my life saver for rashes. I got a terrible breakout from hives and this gel soothed the rashes and prevented it from growing out. It is also very cooling, refreshing on my skin and helps to combat heat. I highly recommend this to people who live in hot and humid places. I don't think it is suitable for dry Show more
