Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.

Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.
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.

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.

My skin drinks this right up. A little goes a long way so worth the price. Skin is left soft and I can feel the firmness in my skin. The next morning, my skin is still hydrated and has a lovely glow
It's okay...
It's very moisturizing and I use it in the evenings as my bottom moisturizer when using retin-A. BUT I only buy it when ULTA has it on their 21 Days of Beauty sale because I don't think it's worth its original price.

I really love this product! Is super hydrating and a little bit on the thick side, but it doesn't feel greasy or heavy at all in oily skin, it absorbs really well without any pilling. It's also non-comedogenic so it won't break you out. And it doesn't have any kind of fragrance at all, so it's also great for sensitive skin. It really works for almost any skin type (only those who are allergic to Show more
This moisturizer gives your skin a very nice dewy finish. Which I love so much. It's also never caused me any breakouts or irritation. I love the whole propolis line. All the products are healing and super hydrating, and ever since I started using them my skin looks a little more healthy and clear!
