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!

Effective spot treatment, however, it dries down and can be crumbly. Definitely not the best option for an overnight spot treatment. I repurchased this and used two tubes, but I've moved on to a different spot treatment that is more pillow-safe for overnight application.

It stings, but beauty is pain..
I know. You see the alcohol and think its all bad. Its not. Its everything. I put this on at night on a pimple at any stage and wake up with the pimple completely gone. It stings. I’ve been recommended the Kiehl’s Liquid Pimple Patch that is alcohol free. That is up next. But until then, this is securely on the holy grail shelf.
This did nothing for my pimples but at least it didn't worsen it.
