Ingredients Explained

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!

Humectant, Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting

Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

The product is supposed to be calming and reduce redness, but unfortunately it did not work well on my skin. Even though I followed the instructions it only caused more redness, which was visible for several hours after usage. The redness might be from increased blood circulation, but since the product is supposed to help reduce redness it certainly does not live up to the expectations. Won't buy Show more

I tried this weekly treatment and didn't notice much of a difference in the tone or texture of my skin. It's a gentle exfoliator for sure, but I suspect my 40+ year old skin needs more. I would definitely recommend it to the younger audience it's intended for though. I appreciate the airless pump packaging.

I've been loving this exfoliating mask. Exfoliating toners and serums sometimes irritate my skin, even if the are gentle formulations. I put 1-2 pumps of this mask on my face once a week before showering, leave it on for 10 minutes and then wash it off. It never irritated, but by morning, my skin is smooth and breakouts are calmed down (if there's any). I prefer to include this product in my Show more
