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!

This ingredient has many purposes in skincare: thickener, emulsifier, and exfoliator.

Learn more about Sodium ChlorideCitric Acid is an AHA derived from citrus fruits (think oranges, lemons, and limes!).
As an AHA, Citric Acid removes the top layer of skin cells from the newer layer of skin underneath. This helps skin to remove dark spots and even out skin tone.
If you spot Citric Acid near the end of an ingredient list, it's likely there as a pH adjuster rather than an active ingredient.

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.

iUNIK Centella Bubble Cleansing Foam 24 ingredients
Such an underrated product. Its feels really nice on the skin and cleanses deeply.
It's a very good cleanser in general, its foamy texture is very pleasant, it gives a refreshed look and has a very mild, light scent. It cleanses very well but leaves the skin a little dry, so I wouldn't recommend it if you have dehydrated skin.

Similar to the Balea cleansing foam! I like the design of this one more though
Great ingredients list and an amazing price. The foamy texture feels nice on the skin.
Nonetheless, this is too drying as a cleanser, and any panthenol cannot make up for that. Probably the composition has too little glycerin; whatever it is it makes my skin too dry!
Overall it is ok and it won't break sensitive skin, which is extremely important, but this is simply not good enough.
