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!

It is a:
- Humectant, drawing moisture into the skin
- Emollient, helping to soften skin
- Solvent, dispersing and stabilizing formulas
- Preservative booster, enhancing the antimicrobial activity of other preservatives
Allantoin plays a role in soothing and moisturizing the skin. Because of this, it is often added to products with strong active ingredients.
Some studies have shown this ingredient can promote wound healing with higher concentrations.
Allantoin is derived from the comfrey plant but produced synthetically for cosmetic products to ensure purity.
Learn more about AllantoinButylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:
Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.
Though this ingredient works well with most skin types, some people with sensitive skin may experience a reaction such as allergic rashes, closed comedones, or itchiness.

You might see Ethylhexylglycerin often paired with other preservatives such as phenoxyethanol. Ethylhexylglycerin has been found to increase the effectiveness of these other preservatives.
Disodium EDTA plays a role in making products more stable by aiding other preservatives.

Disodium EDTA is a salt of edetic acid and is found to be safe in cosmetic ingredients.

Low molecular weight HA has been shown to hydrate and increase elasticity of the skin. Increasing elasticity is also associated with reduction of wrinkle depth.
One study found topical low molecular weight hyaluronic acid may be considered for the treatment of rosacea in the adult population. However, we always recommend speaking with a professional about your skin concerns.
Hyaluronic acids are a humectant. This means they draw moisture from the air. Hyaluronic acids help moisturize, soothe, and protect the skin.

No doubt in my top 3 fav toners !! For those you who don't know, low molecular penetrates the deepest and absorbs the quickest when applied to the skin, where as high molecular kind of just stays at the surface of your skin and takes ages to absorb. THIS TKNER I'M TELLING YOU DOES WONDERSSS. It's so hydrating and abosrbs in literally 3 seconds i am NAWT joking 🧍🏻♀️😪 like idk what drgs thry put in Show more
I have really dry, acne prone and sensitive skin. This HA toner has helped me by providing instant hydration and is quick to absorb into my skin. I have been repurchasing this product multiple times because it is cost effective and it last me for months. Great for all skin types!

If you’re super duper mega oily and live in hot, humid weather, then this toner is definitely for you. It’s incredibly effective in terms of oil control. I have combination skin, and this toner really helps manage the oiliness in my T-zone.
It’s doing such a great job at oil control that even my cheeks, which aren’t oily, ended up feeling dry. Clearly, it’s really effective at controlling oil.
Makes other steps bearable! My temporary repair moisturizer isn't very hydrating I think, and it leaves my skin sort of sticky that isn't very pleasant until several hours later, but this toner really helps with controlling sebum that I believe it makes for a better feel until my PM routine!
Unsure if better with other hydrating products, as my current routine has very little, but for those Show more
